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

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.
