San Juan Regional Medical Center wants to keep you and your loved ones from getting sick this flu season. We are offering five free flu shot clinics at five different Four Corners locations over the next few weeks, as part of our commitment to keep our community healthy.

The first opportunity for a free vaccination is our popular drive-thru flu shot clinic. This will take place on Saturday, October 26 in the north visitor parking lot located at the corner of Maple Street and Schwartz Avenue in Farmington. To avoid traffic backups and get you in and on your way quickly, participants are asked to wear a short-sleeved shirt, or roll up their sleeve ahead of time, and be ready for the vaccine by the time their car reaches the nurse.

If you are 18 or older, and especially if you belong to one of the groups at high risk of developing flu-related complications, such as adults 65 years and older, pregnant women and people with certain underlying medical conditions, we encourage you to get a flu shot this season.
