Seniors: Avoid Flu, Pneumonia This Season

Senator Wayne D. Fontana is hosting a Flu/Pneumonia Shot & Health Clinic on Wednesday, Oct. 24 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Quinn Hall at the Church of the Resurrection in Brookline.

American HealthCare Group will be providing the free vaccinations to any senior with a Medicare Part B health insurance card. Make sure you bring your card with you.

All attendees can also receive a free blood pressure screening compliments of Concordia South Hills and will have an opportunity to speak with a pharmacist from Duquesne University’s Mylan School of Pharmacy and “Ask the Pharmacist” questions about medications.
