Stanislaus County to administer flu shots at community clinics. Where to get yours
The Stanislaus County Health Services Agency is holding public clinics to increase access to flu vaccine.
Flu shots can help people to stay protected against influenza outbreaks, which often surface in December and peak in January in the Northern San Joaquin Valley.
Health officials also are hoping to keep hospitals from being overrun with a combination of influenza and COVID-19 patients this winter.
Flu shots will be administered at a clinic Thursday at Cesar Chavez Junior High in Ceres from 3 to 6 p.m. The clinic will be held in the school’s multipurpose room, 2701 Eastgate Blvd.
A clinic Friday at Denair Middle School, 3701 Lester Road, will run from 2 to 5 p.m. in the Coyote Center.
Another flu clinic is set for Nov. 9 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Salvation Army Berberian Shelter, 320 Ninth St., Modesto.
The Keyes Elementary School gymnasium, 4400 Maud Ave., will host a flu clinic Nov. 10 from 1 to 4 p.m.
