Along with the rest of the nation, King County is experiencing widespread flu, with more people sick and requiring medical care early in the flu season compared to recent years. Public Health – Seattle & King County is offering free flu vaccination clinics to make flu vaccine more widely available to people without health insurance or who are unable to pay. Flu vaccine (shots and nasal spray) is also available at many health-care provider offices and pharmacies for those who have insurance or are able to pay for vaccination.
The closest clinic near Redmond is the Eastgate Public Health Center (14350 S.E. Eastgate Way, Bellevue), which will offer free flu vaccinations from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday and from 3-7 p.m. on Jan. 23 and Jan. 30.
