The St. Joseph County Health Department is offering free flu shots for the first 100 residents that request one.
Currently, nine people have died of flu-related deaths in St. Joseph County alone this season, which is why the Health Department wants all residents to be immunized to protect themselves against the virus.
Residents three-years-old and older can get a flu shot at any St. Joseph County Health Department locations.
The South Bend location at 227 West Jefferson Boulevard on the 9th floor of the County-City Building is open from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The Mishawaka clinic location on 219 Lincolnway West is open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The free shots will only be available while supplies last, and if you are interested, you are asked to call the Immunization Division at 574-235-6656 to make sure there are still shots left.
