The CDC recently expanded their flu vaccination recommendations to include all children from 6 months all the way through 18 years old.  And their caregivers (you).

Make things easier for yourself with a quick trip to this Friday’s Say “BOO!” to the Flu event in Brooklyn for a FREE flu shot and plenty of other prevention tips (and maybe even some free goodies).  We could all use a few free perks right now, couldn’t we?  I’ll admit it won’t help get the kids out the door, but at least it’s something…

Halloween isn’t just about costumes and candy; it is also the time of year to get your family vaccinated against the flu.  To prepare for this year’s cold and flu season, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) expanded their flu vaccination recommendations to include all children from 6 months through 18 years old.

At the Say “Boo!” to the Flu event in New York, nurses from Lutheran Family Health Centers will administer flu vaccinations, while also providing parents with important flu prevention information. 

Say “Boo!” to the Flu will give busy families an easy way to scare away the flu virus in October, before flu season peaks.  The Halloween-themed event will also offer fun, interactive games for families.  Painting kids’ faces and playing fun games can help kids forget about their flu vaccination!
