These clinics are in addition to the flu shot clinic on Jan. 24 at the Westchester County Center where more than 450 people were vaccinated. Among them were many who were getting a flu shot for the first time.
The flu shot is safe and provides protection against the three strains of flu that are circulating this season. Residents are advised to get a flu shot each year.
