The Southern Nevada Health District is asking residents to “Show Flu Who’s Boss” this season by getting their flu vaccine.
The Health District is hosting two no-cost community flu vaccine clinics at area high schools on Oct. 21 and Nov. 4. Vaccine will be available for both adults and children 6 months of age and older.

The clinics will offer 200 doses on a first-come, first-served basis and no appointments are necessary.
This season it is more important than ever for people to protect themselves, their families, and their community from flu. The Health District is encouraging flu vaccinations to help ensure medical resources are conserved, and the health care system is not overtaxed as the response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
