CBS47 would like to thank all those who participated in the 2nd Annual CBS47/Walgreens Free Flu Shot Drive.
The response was amazing with people coming out to the CBS47 Studios throughout the day.
The goal was to provide a free flu shot to the first 1,000 people but the Walgreens pharmacists administered nearly 1,200!
Thank you to Walgreens for helping so many people of the Valley.
CBS47 is partnering with Walgreens to give FREE Flu Shots on Wednesday, October 24th to the uninsured/underserved.
The Free Flu Shot Drive takes place 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the front parking lot at the CBS47 Studios, located at 4880 N. First Street, across from Fashion Fair Mall in Fresno.
