San Mateo County health officials are advising all residents to get vaccinated before the flu season arrives.
County flu-shot clinics begin Oct. 12 and run through December for those who are 60 or older or have a chronic health condition. The suggested donation is $5. For a clinic schedule go to www.smhealth.org/flu or call 573-3927.

“Annual flu immunization is especially important for adults 50 and older, anyone with chronic health conditions, pregnant women, and all children aged 6 to 59 months,” says Dr. Scott Morrow, San Mateo County health officer.
