2010 Community Flu Campaign

Posted By: Make Medicine Better meta_seperate Date Posted: September 21st, 2010 meta_seperate Category: Medicine

 

The single best way for families to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each fall. This year the seasonal flu vaccine protects against three strains of the virus, including H1N1. All vaccines are preservative-free. The following BJC HealthCare hospitals are offering free flu shots:
 

 

Barnes-Jewish Hospital

In 2009, over 35,000 people were vaccinated through these efforts and that amount is expected again this year, thanks to a donation from the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Foundation. Latex-free vaccines are available for individuals with latex allergies. All vaccine is preservative free. Flu shots will not be given to individuals who have had a previous allergic reaction to the flu vaccine, those with egg allergies or anyone who has ever had Guillian-Barre Syndrome. Please note not all sites provide pediatric vaccines.

Free seasonal flu shots are available at the following locations while supplies last. No pre-registration is required unless noted.
