Flu, Covid vax clinic in Cambria set for Tuesday

A flu and Covid-19 vaccination clinic will be hosted Tuesday in Cambria by the San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department. 

The Cambria clinic will be at the Santa Rosa Catholic Church, 1174 Main Street.

• Tuesday, December 6, 1:30 – 5:30 p.m.
• Updated COVID-19 boosters and flu shots for ages 5+, plus primary series for ages 5+

The clinic is the last of four in recent days hosted by the county to address increased demand for protection against the seasonal flu and ongoing Covid-19 infections.

“We’ve been thrilled with the strong turnout at our mobile clinics around SLO County and are happy to keep the momentum going with more opportunities to get vaccinated ahead of a possible winter surge of flu and COVID-19,” said Dr. Penny Borenstein, County Health Officer.

Pop-up clinics offer extended hours and no appointments are needed—just walk in. There are no requirements related to residency, income, insurance, or immigration status. Medical professionals are always on-hand to answer questions. This year’s flu shot and the new, updated COVID-19 booster both appear to be a good match for the strains circulating right now.

High-dose flu vaccine will not be available at these events; adults age 65+ who wish to receive high-dose flu vaccine may schedule an appointment at a Public Health clinic by calling 805-781-5500.

Flu shots and COVID-19 vaccines are also available from pharmacies countywide. To schedule an appointment, contact your local pharmacy or health care provider, or visit VaccineFinder.org or MyTurn.ca.gov.
