Free Flu Shots Continue at Fairgrounds in San José Saturdays through December 12
SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA. – The County of Santa Clara will continue providing free, no-appointment flu shots to the public at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds every Saturday through December 12. Since mid-September, more than 7,100 people have been vaccinated, a vaccination number almost 10 times greater than the total in 2019 at similar events.
"This high demand for flu shots shows that communities are responding to the call to get vaccinated for influenza to protect themselves and their family,” said Dr. Sara Cody, County of Santa Clara Health Officer. “Flu shots are a safe and effective way to protect yourself against severe flu. There has never been a more important time to get a flu shot."
