FARMINGTON — The San Juan Regional Medical Center is offering free vaccinations during clinics in October and November at five locations as part of its Fight the Flu campaign, according to a press release.
The clinics are available for anyone 18 years old or older. Vaccines will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis until supplies run out, and there will be a drive-through option.
This drive-through option will be at the medical center’s north visitors parking lot. Those going through the drive through should wear short-sleeve shirts and be ready for the vaccine by the time the car reaches the nurse.
The clinics will be held at the following locations:
