October 17: Orange County Offers Free Flu Shots
Free Event Saturday, October 17 at Mile Square Park
Orange County is providing residents seasonal flu shots – free of charge!
“Get a flu shot,” said Supervisor Andrew Do, who proposed the county’s vaccine operational plan approved by the Board last month. “It’s one of the most important things we can all do for our health and the health of others during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Public health experts have expressed concern for a possible “twindemic” – a term referred to as having two pandemics at the same time.
While the elderly and those with underlying conditions are more susceptible to get the COVID-19 and the flu, children are also at high risk for developing serious flu-related complications. Public health experts agree that the more people in all age groups who get the flu vaccine, the more protected these vulnerable populations will be.
“While there is no vaccine for COVID-19 yet, there is one for the flu,” said Supervisor Do. “Getting the flu shot as early as possible this season will help reduce the chances of getting sick.”
