It’s that time of year again: As winter approaches and people start to gather indoors more, Summit County public health officials are encouraging community members to not only get a COVID-19 vaccine but also a flu shot.

On the county’s website, there’s a complete list of flu vaccine clinics for the season. Most clinics require appointments ahead of time, but some allow walk-ups, including Walgreens and Safeway. Walmart does not require an appointment.

All of the clinics are available Monday through Friday. The following clinics have weekend availability: City Market in Breckenridge and Dillon, Safeway, Target and Walmart.

In addition, the county is also partnering with various organizations to host flu shot clinics throughout the next month or so. Summit County Nurse Manager Lauren Gilbert said her department plans to roll out an online registration form for these clinics in the next few days.
