The arrival of cooler temperatures means that flu season is approaching.

The Allegheny County Health Department is opening their flu vaccine clinic in Oakland Tuesday, Sept. 11.

The vaccine is free for children and people with Medicare Part B who are not in an HMO.

For everyone else, the vaccine is $25.

Officials say there is no shortage of the vaccine this season.
