 Have you had your flu shot yet?
The Santa Clara County Library District and Santa Clara County Public Health Department have teamed up to help people stay healthy during flu season. This October, experienced Public Health Nurses will be administering FREE flu shots to adults 18 yrs and older. For maximum protection, people should get the flu vaccine before flu season begins. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for the antibodies that protect against the flu to develop in the body. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends getting a flu vaccine before the end of October, whenever possible.
Questions? Click here.
FREE flu shots for adults 18 yrs and older will be available at the following locations:
Cupertino Library Tuesday, October 10 from 1-3:30 p.m.
Gilroy Library: Tuesday, October 17 from 1-3:30 p.m.
Morgan Hill Library: Thursday, October 26 from 1-3:30 p.m.
