Does anyone know when Brandon Clinic by the hospital is offering flu shots? I haven't heard anything and couldn't find anything online about it (other than one Brandon Sun article I wasn't able to read without a subscription), but I thought it was normally in October sometime.  
 
Before anyone tells me to just call... I would, but since they are closed today and tomorrow I can't and I wanted to check into it while I'm thinking about it.  
 
Thanks for any info!  
 
Edited to add: I don't need opinions or judgment on whether people should get the shot or not, just info on when it's available. Thanks!

They will be available free of charge for all Manitobans beginning Wednesday, October 17th. There is only ONE location for this. It is in the gymnasium in the Nurses residence at the Regional Health Centre. Enter through the Assiniboine Centre entrance and follow the signs.  
 
You can park for free in the hospital parking lot...if you can find a space.  
 
Make sure you have your Manitoba Health card with you.

I see a sign in Superstore "get your flu shot here". Last year I believe most pharmacies offered flu shots. Most Dr offices if you already have an appointment you can just ask for your shot then. I know Brandon Clinic used to offer a walk-in for the flu shot during certain days/hours but unsure if they still do.

Just to clarify and so there is no confusion out there the flu shot clinic is on Saturday, October 17, 2015. Probably just a typo but wanted people to know. Thanks

Off topic, but is hospital parking free now? I was just there, paid for parking, but when I went to leave I noticed the one exit gate was open. Is it always open now?

The hospital parking lot will be free while the free flu shots are being offered.
