Seasonal Flu Clinics Set

SOUTHBURY — Two walk-in seasonal flu clinics are being offered by Brownstein Jewish Family Service this year. Shots are available for anyone age 9 and over, and preregistration is not needed for either of the clinics. Pneumonia shots will also be available, but H1N1 shots will not be given at these clinics.

The clinics take place on Thursday, October 15, from 10 am to 12 pm and Thursday, October 29, from 1 to 3 pm at the Walzer Family Jewish Community Campus, 444 Main Street North.

Those seeking shots should bring their insurance cards. Covered insurances for flu shots are: Medicare Part B; Anthem Blue Cross/ Blue Shield; ConnectiCare; Oxford; Aetna; and HealthNet. There will be a charge for clients not covered by those insurances of $37 for flu and $57 for pneumonia shots.

A consent form will be available to sign. Shots are courtesy of VNA Health Care and RSVP, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program.
