ERIE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ANNOUNCES
FREE FLU VACCINATION CLINIC SCHEDULE
ERIE COUNTY, NY – The Erie County Department of Health (ECDOH) is announcing upcoming free flu vaccination clinic dates and locations.
“This flu season, our department is adding these flu vaccine clinics to supplement what is already being provided by local pharmacies, doctor’s offices, healthcare facilities, faith communities, school districts and community organizations,” said Commissioner of Health Dr. Gale Burstein. “There are significant public health benefits to expanding flu vaccine access to as many people as possible, including people who do not have health insurance, essential workers, and people who are at high-risk for flu complications.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend getting the flu vaccine before the end of October, though any time before or during flu season can protect against infection.
ECDOH sites will offer flu vaccine formulated for individuals ages 6 months and older at no cost, and no insurance card is required. “Volunteers from pharmacy programs at D’Youville College and the University at Buffalo will be on site to support our department’s vaccination efforts, along with staff from our department,” Dr. Burstein offered.
This schedule is subject to change as clinic dates and outreach events are added. Please check www.erie.gov/flu for the most current schedule and pre-registration options..
