FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2025 Annual Drive-Thru Flu Vaccine Clinic & Emergency Exercise is October 24, from 7 am to 4 pm

Kittitas County, WA - 10/13/2025 - The Kittitas County Public Health Department (KCPHD) will be holding our annual drive-thru flu vaccination clinic and emergency preparedness exercise on Friday, October 24, 2025, from 7 am to 4 pm.

KCPHD and partner agencies will be at the Western Village on E 8th Ave and N Alder St (1010 E 8th Ave, Ellensburg). Vehicles should enter from Alder St. Free flu vaccines will be available for both children and adults while supplies last, first come first served.
 
This annual event provides an easy way for community members to get protected against the flu without leaving their car, while also helping KCPHD to test emergency response systems and procedures.
 
Flu vaccination is the best way to prevent getting the flu. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone over the age of six months receives a flu shot every year.
 
It is especially important for certain groups of people to be vaccinated every year including:

• Children aged six months up to their sixth birthday, but especially children younger than two years old,
• Pregnant women,
• People 65 years of age or older,
• People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions,
• People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, and
• People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from the flu.
