Sansum Clinic provides flu shots through our community-wide Flu Shot Program conducted October to January each year, which results in better health and well-being for the residents of our Santa Barbara community. We have conducted these clinics for more than a decade, providing more than 100,000 people with flu shots throughout the county.
Flu Shots
In 2010, Sansum Clinic vaccinated 8,800 people who were served at 18 flu shot clinics offered at 9 different sites in Carpinteria, Santa Barbara, Goleta, Solvang and Lompoc. Of the 8,800 people approximately 4,300 of them were unable to pay the requested $20 donation and Sansum Clinic covered the cost.
Community Flu Shots and Vaccines
Funding for flu shots is needed now more than ever. Awareness of influenza was heightened with the H1N1 swine flu virus. In these economically challenging times, people cannot afford to get sick. Sansum Clinic is the only organization offering flu shots on such a wide scale and at no cost to those who do not have the financial means to pay.
