vaccine clinic

Multiple clinics planned in North County

– The San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department is hosting pop-up clinics across the county throughout October to help protect residents from viruses likely to circulate widely in the community this winter: influenza and COVID-19. The clinics will provide flu shots and the new, updated COVID-19 booster shots (sometimes called “Omicron boosters”) at no cost to residents. Medical professionals will be available to answer vaccine questions.

“Both the flu shot and the new COVID-19 booster are tailored to protect against the strains of virus circulating this year, right now,” said County Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein. “We’re incredibly fortunate to have access to up-to-date protection as we look ahead to a potentially rough flu season and possible winter surge of COVID-19. Please take this simple step to get the best protection for yourself and your family.”
