Free flu shots to be offered at clinics

Presbyterian Medical Group will offer free influenza shots to community members 18 years old and older at clinic locations in Tucumcari and Logan from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday or until the vaccine is gone.

The location for the shots in Tucumcari is at the Dan. C. Trigg PMG Clinic at 402 E. Miel de Luna Ave. The Logan clinic is at 600 Gallegos St.

The 2018-2019 flu vaccine will protect against four strains of seasonal flu:

• Influenza A H3N2-type virus

• Influenza A H1N1-type virus

• Two influenza B-type viruses

For their safety, children cannot receive flu shots through these clinics. Contact your child’s primary-care provider to receive a properly dosed flu shot.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone six months and older receive the flu vaccine.
