• Walk ins are welcome
• Multiple nurses will be available to help minimize wait times

What: NNPH Flu Vaccine Clinic

Where: 1001 E. 9th St., Reno, NV, Building C

When: Saturday, Nov. 14, 9 a.m. to noon

Cost: Free

Map: Please note the new location for this year in Building C, and not in the NNPH Clinic.

Additionally, NNPH’s Population Health staff will be on site conducting a public health preparedness training. This practice is to help NNPH and our partners organize a large event where mass vaccinations would be administered to counter a public health threat.

This exercise is for emergency preparedness purposes and will have no impact on guests receiving a vaccine; however, it demonstrates NNPH’s commitment to preparation and serving residents.

Respiratory season is underway in Washoe County and already we’re seeing cases of flu, RSV and COVID-19 spread in our community. See our respiratory dashboard for the latest (Note: The dashboard is updated every Friday, except for weeks with an observed holiday).

Vaccines are also available at the Northern Nevada Public Health Clinic weekly. To schedule an appointment, call 775-328-2402. See more info on our website, including vaccination events.

In addition to the flu vaccine, other ways to prevent the flu are:

• Wash hands frequently with soap for at least 20 seconds
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
• Regularly clean surfaces such as doorknobs, countertops, light switches, shared electronics
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick
• Cover coughs and sneezes with tissue, or inner elbow
• Stay home when sick
