Free flu shots are being offered on most weekdays in December at the Richmond City Health District, 400 E. Cary St.

No appointment is needed to get a flu shot. They are available to city residents ages 6 months and older, health district officials announced.

The “gift to the community” was announced Tuesday as the public health operation seeks to boost immunity from the flu that is now rampant in Richmond and across the state.

The shots will be provided from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday through Dec. 31. The only days when the clinic will be closed for the service are weekends; Friday, Dec. 13; Christmas Eve, Tuesday, Dec. 24; and Christmas Day, Wednesday, Dec. 25.
