On Tuesday, January 21st and Wednesday, January 22nd, the Fresno County Department of Public Health Flu Vaccination Clinic will be open from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. then opens again from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m.
So far, 13 people in the Valley have died from the flu, and experts believe it could get much worse if people do not get vaccinated.
"This year is a little busier than we typically see, especially in younger populations. And this is a reminder that it can be deadly and can cause serious illness," said David Luchini, Fresno County Department of Public Health.
Since January 2nd, the Health Department has given 2,200 flu vaccinations. Health officials say during this season, it is important to cover your cough, wash your hands frequently, and stay home if you are sick.
The Fresno County Department of Health is located at 1221 Fulton Mall in Downtown Fresno.
