Harvey clean up - HEB is giving FREE tetanus shots [View all]

If you or your friends/family is dealing with Harvey clean up, the water is full of nasties. Hand washing, showering and washing clothes may not be enough to protect against tetanus, which is found in animal feces. So HEB is giving free tetanus shots to anyone who asks for one. Pharmacy hours are generally not the same as store hours, so be sure and call your closest HEB for hours and availability.
