Kittitas County, WA - 10/16/2026 - The Kittitas County Public Health Department (KCPHD) will be holding our annual drive-thru flu vaccination clinic on Friday, October 23, 2026, 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).

Annual flu vaccination is especially important for people at higher risk of serious flu complications, 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.
