Last Call for Flu Shots

With winter rapidly approaching, the time to get flu shots is now. The City of Long Beach is teaming up with the Red Cross to set up a few last flu shot clinics around the city.

These flu shot clinics are available for people 60 and older, or ages 18-59 with a preexisting condition. These conditions include asthma, diabetes, heart, lung, kidney or liver disease, blood disorders or HIV/AIDS.

The shots will be given without appointments. Medicare part B will be accepted, and/or a two dollar donation.

There are four clinics left through the end of November. The next one is Wednesday, from 9 a.m. to noon at Bixby Park, located at 130 Cherry Ave. The other three are the week after Thanksgiving, November 27-30 at the Health Department from 9 a.m. to noon. The Health Department is located at 2525 Grand Ave.
