COVID Vaccine Clinic
After your flu shot, drive on over to the San Juan County Public Health Office for a COVID vaccine or booster.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone 6 months and older receive an annual flu vaccination, ideally by the end of October. When it comes to COVID-19, the CDC recommends everyone stay up to date with vaccines and boosters for their age group. In addition, the CDC reports that getting a COVID-19 after you recover from COVID-19 infection provides added protection against reinfection. The CDC endorses the co-administration of the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as other vaccinations.
