Drivers line up their vehicles at the Drive-Thru Flu Shot Clinic Saturday at Los Alamos Medical Center (LAMC) at 3917 West Road. LAMC staff administered free flu shots to the community in the hospital parking lot. LAMC representatives said that the best way to prevent the flu and its potentially serious complications is by getting a yearly flu vaccine, adding that studies indicate while flu vaccination does not always prevent illness, it has been shown to reduce severity.
