Long Beach is hosting a series of free flu shot clinics as flu season begins
There are ten scheduled clinics where residents can get free flu shots this month including one spooky event where costumes are encouraged.
With flu season officially starting in the United States, the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services is offering free flu vaccines at a series of community clinics in October including a spooky vaccination event where the department hopes people will say “Boo to Flu.”
The largest clinic being hosted this year is scheduled for Oct. 17 at the health department headquarters in East Long Beach. People getting vaccinated at that event are encouraged to dress up in a Halloween costume to match the theme of this year’s event; Boo 2 Flu.
