San Luis Obispo County Public Health is offering free pop-up clinics to make vaccines accessible to the community ahead of the winter months.
Free flu and COVID-19 shots are available across the county, from San Miguel to Nipomo, over the next month.

"We're incredibly fortunate to have access to up-to-date protection as we look ahead to a potentially rough flu season and possible winter surge of COVID-19," Dr. Penny Borenstein, County Health Officer, said in a release.
Flu shots will be available to kids and adults ages 5 and older. Initial Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines will be available for those 5 and older, and updated Bivalent COVID-19 boosters will be available for those ages 12 and older. All the shots will be available at no cost, though availability will vary by location.
A full list of mobile clinics and details about the shots being offered is available online.
Health officials say it is safe to get a flu shot and a COVID-19 booster on the same day.
