The Durant Police Department will have two events this month, the first being a Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, Oct. 24 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the police department. If unable to attend that day but have drugs that need to be disposed of, a person can contact the police department. This program assists with misuse or abuse of unused prescriptions drugs, and helps prevent them from being disposed of improperly.
The second event is the Cedar County Public Health Drive Through Flu Clinic, which will be Thursday, Oct. 29 from 1 until 5 p.m. at the police station parking lot. Masks are required and attendees will remain in their vehicles.
Cost is $30 payable by cash or check. Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance is accepted. There is no out-of-pocket expense for those with Medicare, Medicaid or Blue Cross Blue Shield. Children under 18 years of age who present a Medicaid card or are uninsured will receive the vaccine at no charge through the Vaccines for Children program.
