CULVER CITY, CA — Health officials warn that not only are COVID-19 vaccinations important, but flu season is coming. The Los Angeles County Library will offer a series of clinics next week to offer free flu inoculations, including a clinic in Culver City this month.

The clinic will be on Oct. 20, from noon to 3 p.m. at Culver City Julian Dixon Library, 4975 Overland Ave.

No appointments are required and proof of insurance is not needed.

"The well-being of our staff and customers is always on our minds," LA County Library Director Skye Patrick said in a statement. "Working with Public Health to make flu immunization clinics available to our customers allows us to provide them with a valuable resource to keep them and their loved ones healthy."
