Seattle & King County will offer free flu vaccinations for adults and children at special clinics in Des Moines and Shoreline from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 20. The clinics are an opportunity for people who do not have health insurance to cover the cost of flu vaccination.<\/p>\n
Health experts recommend that everyone over six months of age should get the flu vaccine to protect their health and the people around them. This year, a single vaccine provides protection against the H1N1 flu that caused outbreaks last year and two other flu viruses that are expected to cause illness this season.<\/p>\n
In addition to providing free flu vaccines, the clinics also will serve as a preparedness exercise for Public Health to practice its ability to provide vaccinations to a large number of people in a short amount of time. More than 1,000 doses of vaccine will be available at each location.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
