Flu shot clinic

To help the Lake Tahoe community stay healthy this season, Barton Health is providing free seasonal flu vaccines to children ages 3 to 18 who reside in South Lake Tahoe.

The shots will be given Nov. 5 from 9am-1pm at Barton Family Medicine (1090 Third Street, South Lake Tahoe).

Anyone 19 and older may receive the flu vaccine for $20 and the pneumonia vaccine for $35.

There is no appointment necessary to receive the vaccination(s); individuals will be treated on a walk-in-basis.

Both vaccines are reimbursable for standard Medicare patients. Medicare HMOs cannot be billed.

Questions can be emailed to publicrelations@bartonhealth.org or call (530) 543.5615.
