People will generally stay in their cars to help minimize the potential spread of infection. As a result, no walk-up shots will be administered.
Despite some erroneous postings to the contrary on a couple of Websites, the organizers stress that only inoculations against the seasonal flu will be dispensed at this event.
This is the fourth consecutive year that local agencies have partnered to provide flu shots to the community. College of the Canyons is once again the location because the college’s Valencia campus is conveniently located and has a number of large parking lots that make the logistics of this type of event manageable.
College of the Canyons nursing students will administer most of the shots and students from the college’s EMT program are an important part of the screening process prior to shots being administered.
Organizers are prepared to administer more than a thousand shots during the two-and-one-half-hour event.
