flu shots

Flu season is upon us and many have found themselves without the resources to get vaccinated. Oregon Coast Community Action has partnered up with Walgreens Pharmacy to make sure underserved individuals on the South Coast are getting the protection they need to stay healthy this fall and upcoming winter.

With the start of the school fast approaching, Deschutes County Health Services is reminding parents to make sure their children have the immunizations they need to go to school and stay healthy.

For those children still needing immunizations before the start of school, Deschutes County School Based Health Centers are holding walk-in “Back to School Shot Clinics” the week of August 27.

WHAT'S HAPPENING: If you are 11 years old or older, get vaccinated against the flu, for free, thanks to Walgreens pharmacists. Walk-ins are welcome.
