Immunize Nevada and the Washoe County Health District are hosting a free flu vaccination clinic for children and families Tuesday. The clinic will be held at Shopper’s Square from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. This is considered one of the worst flu seasons in years across the country, with flu widespread in 49 states. Flu has been blamed for seven deaths in Washoe County. it generally hits the elderly, young kids and those with compromised immune systems hardest. At least 30 children have died with the flu nationally so far this season. While the vaccine has not been a good match for the most virulent strain this season, doctors still recommend getting the shot. Other strains are circulating and could pose a larger problem in the coming weeks and months.
