Flu season is here and with new cases of the flu now confirmed, San Mateo County Health officials urge everyone ages 6 months and older to get a flu shot. In addition to healthcare providers, retail stores and pharmacies, such as Costco and Walgreens, also have seasonal flu vaccine available. For people who do not have a healthcare provider, the Health System and partner organizations are now offering the flu vaccine at clinics throughout the County.

The next nearest clinic, in terms of date and location, is being held in South San Francisco this Sunday, 11/6 at St. Augustine's Church (3700 Callan Blvd.) from 10:00am - 3:00pm.
