As the cold weather returns, here’s where to get your flu shot this weekend

Nov. 03--There are so many places to get flu shots in the Lehigh Valley that there is little excuse not to get one. With insurance, it's always free, and even for those without insurance, there are health bureaus and clinics offering free shots.

Several large chains that have pharmacies offer flu shots, free for the insured and with a small fee for the uninsured.

Here's a list of places to go get your vaccination this weekend:

* Lehigh Valley Health Network's annual drive-thru flu shot clinics: 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Nov. 4 at Dorney Park; Nov. 5 at Coca-Cola Park, free of charge for all. Come with the right forms filled out, founded at lvhn.org/flushot.

* Your primary care doctor. Flu shots must be free for the insured under the Affordable Care Act (which, yes, is still in effect).
