Due to a robust response we have run out of flu vaccine and are therefore cancelling the flu vaccine clinics listed below (October 12 and 14). We will schedule additional vaccine events if we are able to acquire more doses. Flu vaccines are available at most pharmacies; Safeway, Walgreens, CVS, Costco.
 
It is that time of year again to get immunized to protect yourself and your loved ones from the seasonal flu. Flu shots can reduce doctor visits, missed work and school, and prevent hospitalizations. 
 

Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory illness. It can cause mild to severe illness. Serious outcomes of flu infection can result in hospitalization or death. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk of serious flu complications. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older as the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against the flu.
