Huntington Health Launches Free Flu Shot Clinics Across Pasadena, Altadena, San Marino and South Pasadena
As the 2025–2026 flu season begins, Huntington Health is urging Pasadena residents and neighbors throughout the San Gabriel Valley to take proactive steps to protect themselves and their families by offering a series of free, walk-in flu vaccination clinics across the region.
The clinics are open to the public and will operate on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations or appointments are needed, and insurance isn’t required. Vaccines will be administered to individuals who meet the following criteria: no moderate or severe acute illness (with or without fever), no severe allergy to the influenza vaccine, and no history of Guillain-Barré syndrome. Children ages 9 to 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to provide consent.
A standard-dose vaccine will be provided; high-dose vaccines recommended for individuals 65 and older will not be available. Supplies are limited at each site.
