Topline:
The L.A. County Department of Public Health and L.A. County Libraries are teaming up to offer free flu shots, as well as vaccinations for COVID-19 and Mpox.
Details: Vaccines are free and health insurance is not needed. To make an appointment, visit myturn.ca.gov or you can walk in at select libraries in Los Angeles County, including West Hollywood, Gardena, Culver City and Westlake. The program will run until Dec. 20 or while supplies last.
Eligibility: The COVID-19 vaccine is available for those aged 12 and older, while the flu shot is recommended for anyone 6 months and up. Mpox vaccines are available for men who have sex with other men or transgender people. Vaccine eligibility can be checked at LACountyLibrary.org/VaccineClinics.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
