Adventist Health Bakersfield wants to help stop the spread of the flu by offering free flu vaccinations for adults.
Peak flu season is here in Kern County. Last week, local officials addressed the spike in people heading to emergency rooms with flu-like symptoms after nearly 90 hospitalizations statewide.
