Flu season is just around the corner.

According to the Arkansas Department of Health, the best way to avoid the nasty bug is to get vaccinated each year.

Pregnant women, young children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems are most at risk of developing serious flu complications, which can lead to death.

To make sure as many people as possible are immunized, the ADH will once again offer mass flu clinics across the state.

On Tuesday, October 23, shots will be administered at the Wynne Baptist Church, 1200 E. Bridges St., from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.
