Remember to get your flu shots

The New York City Health Department is warning New Yorkers that influenza is a deadly disease and suggests that everyone get a flu shot - especially those over 65; kids from six months to five years of age; pregnant women and people with chronic medical conditions.
Here, a volunteer at a free flu-shot clinic gives City Councilmember James F. Gennaro the needle. Gennaro sponsored the event, held on Monday, December 3, at the Immaculate Conception Church in Jamaica.
New York City’s Health and Hospitals Corporation is also offering free and low cost flu shots at public hospitals throughout the city. For information, visit www.nyc.gov/html/hhc/html/services/flushots.shtml.
Free flu shots are available at Health Department clinics in each borough. No appointment is necessary. Any New Yorker can call 3-1-1 for clinic locations, or use the flu locator online at https://a816-health12ssl.nyc.gov/dohroot/prjFlp/.
