Salinas Valley Health Offers Three Additional Free Community Flu Clinics

SALINAS, CA - Salinas Valley Health is adding three free community flu clinics in November, bringing the total number of clinics offered this fall to seven. More than 830 people have already received flu vaccinations at the first four clinics held in Soledad, Gonzales, East Salinas and Castroville.

“Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for people to protect themselves and their families from the flu,” said Dr. Allen Radner, Salinas Valley Health President/CEO. “The strong turnout at our first four clinics shows the importance of these community resources. We’re grateful to our nurses and non-clinical teams who volunteer their time to help keep our community healthy.”

The three additional free flu clinics will be held at the following locations:

Date: Wednesday, Nov. 4

Location: Salinas Valley Fairgrounds, Expo Room, King City

Time: 3 to 6 p.m.
