Orange County, California, will be offering residents free flu shots starting Sept. 28, county officials announced at a press conference.

The board unanimously approved a program to provide mobile clinics with both drive-thru and walk-up options for the flu vaccine, which officials said would help avoid a potential “twindemic” of the flu and COVID-19.
