Keep yourself, family and friends healthy this winter. Get your free flu vaccine! King County Public Health is hosting a free flu vaccine clinic this Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Tukwila Community Center from 10am to 1pm. Flu vaccines are the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from flu.
Influenza spreads readily from person to person in schools, workplaces and homes. Everyone over 6 months of age should get the annual flu vaccine to prevent sickness, unnecessary healthcare visits, hospitalizations and deaths from influenza.
This year, a single flu vaccine provides protection against the H1N1 flu that caused outbreaks last year and 2 other flu viruses that are expected to cause illness this season. Protection lasts throughout the flu season. Limited doses of infant and preservative-free vaccine available. Interpreters available
Flu vaccine is good for people 6 months and older—especially children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with health problems like diabetes and heart disease. You will not be asked for proof of health insurance or citizenship. To save time at registration, download registration forms online at: kingcounty.gov/health/flu. And please share the vaccination clinic flyer.
That’s this Saturday, October 22 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Tukwila Community Center, 12424 42nd Avenue South, in Tukwila. Bus route 150, 154, and 161.
Stay healthy.
