GREENVILLE — Northern Light CA Dean Hospital’s final adult walk-in vaccination clinic of the season will be held on Saturday, Oct. 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Bartley’s Center Cove Events, 241 Pritham Avenue in Greenville.

Community members can get the COVID-19 vaccine, the flu vaccine, or both at the clinic. High dose flu shots will be available for people 65 years of age and older.
