Correction: Last month's Health Fair article incorrectly listed websites for pre-registration for shots from Walgreens at the Health Fair. Walgreens only requires pre-registration for the shingles shot by calling 520-531-8964.

All other Walgreens shots are walk-in the day of the fair. Only Desert Life requires appointments using the websites. Desert Life will do flu shots on a walk-in basis.
