Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina will offer free flu vaccines to some of its members at a series of clinics.
Only Blue Cross members who meet the high-risk criteria of the federal Centers for Disease Control can receive the shots.
A clinic will be held at Joel Coliseum on Nov. 10 from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Nov. 11 from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
A clinic also will be held at Greensboro Coliseum on Nov. 8 from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Nov. 9 from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
About 3,000 shots will be given at each clinic. The vaccines will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Those considered high risk are primarily the elderly, the chronically ill, pregnant women and certain health-care workers. Infants and children younger than 9 are not eligible to receive the shots at the clinics.
