MUSKOGEE, Okla. - Several health service providers are holding a free flu shot clinic Wednesday in Muskogee.
The vaccinations are available at Arrowhead Mall from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. or until they run out of shots.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), flu cases continue to increase nationwide as a majority of states experience high levels of illness.
In Oklahoma, state health officials announced last Thursday that eight people have died as a result of the flu.
