Several clinics in Monterey County will provide free whooping cough vaccinations over the weekend. The vaccinations will be offered Saturday only from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the V-N-A Medical Offices in Monterey, and in Salinas from 3 to 6 p.m. at The Monterey County Health Department. Health Department officials encourage anyone over the age of 7, especially those who work with young children, to get vaccinated. Children under the age of 6 will need to visit their health care provider to receive a different kind of whooping cough vaccine.
