No Cost Flu Vaccination Clinics in Monterey County

 

The Monterey County Health Department is partnering with local organizations to provide no cost influenza “flu” vaccination clinics at community-based locations throughout the county again this year. Anyone 6 months of age and older is welcome to attend.



COVID-19 vaccinations will also be available both for those starting the vaccination series and those who need a booster. Individuals may get both flu and COVID-19 vaccinations on the same day. Vaccinations are provided on a walk-in basis only.



Flu may seem harmless; however, many individuals are at risk for serious complications if they get the flu. Seniors, those with chronic illnesses, pregnant women and young children can get very sick with flu -- sometimes even resulting in hospitalization or death. Everyone six months of age and older should be vaccinated each fall against the flu.



Flu clinics are scheduled for the following dates, times, and places:


    Thursday, October 20th – 1 to 4 pm: CSUMB Otter Student Center RM 310


    Saturday, October 22nd – 11 am to 2 pm: Taylor Farms Family Health and Wellness Center, Gonzales


    Sunday, October 23rd – 10: 30 am to 1 pm: King City High School


    Wednesday, October 26th – 4 to 7 pm: Palma High School, Salinas


    Saturday, October 29th – 10:30 am to 1:30 pm: Greenfield High School


    Friday, November 4th – 9 am to noon and 1 to 3 pm: Salvation Army, 800 Scott St., Sand City


    Saturday, November 5th – 10 am to 1 pm: North Salinas High School, Multipurpose Room


    Wednesday, November 9th – 4 to 7 pm: Main St Middle School, Soledad


    Wednesday, November 16th – 4 to 7 pm: Chualar Fire Station


Children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Clinics are subject to weather cancellation and vaccine supply.

Lake San Antonio Closed Due to Large Scale Fish Die Off; Number of Fish Impacted is Increasing and Reason for Die Off Remains Unknown

July 9, 2024- Out of abundance of caution for public health, County of Monterey Parks is closing the Lake San Antonio facility due to a large-scale fish die off from an unknown cause. On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public. Parks staff also contacted the Water Resources Agency (WRA), State Water Resources Control Board and Environmental Health Bureau.   Unfortunately, the fish die off has continued with larger species such as bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and trout being impacted.
