Free flu vaccine clinics are coming to locations across El Dorado County throughout October and November.
The El Dorado County Health and Human Services Agency, Public Health Division, announced its annual no-cost community flu clinics for the upcoming respiratory virus season. The seasonal flu vaccine will be offered in shot form only, and no appointments are necessary.
