It’s Time to Take a Shot at Staying Healthy

It’s that time of year again--shot time--and the Team Immunize campaign, conducted by the Los Angeles Department of Health Services, is trying to take the sting out by offering its services at 175 clinics throughout the county. The clinics are staffed with physicians and medical personnel fluent in Spanish, Chinese and Korean; vaccinations will be given free to children 6 and under. The hours are Mondays, 5-7 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m.-noon, through Oct. 28. Call for locations: (800) 427-8700.
