MultiCare Auburn Medical Center to administer free flu shots to the first 200 adults Saturday

Free flu vaccinations will be given to the first 200 adults– or until they run out – in the lobby at MultiCare Auburn Medical Center, 202 N. Division St., from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Flu shots are recommended for everyone ages 6 months and older, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The flu can be a very serious illness, especially in young children, adults ages 65 and over, those with underlying health conditions, and pregnant women.

The flu shot is the best way to protect yourself and family from the flu, the CDC says.
