Westchester Community College Holds Flu Clinic for College Students

Westchester Community College clinic for college students on Tuesday, October 21

A clinic for all college students who are uninsured, or whose insurance does not cover vaccines, will be open on Tuesday, Oct. 21 at Westchester Community College. Students with current ID can sign up or drop in to the clinic in the Tech building lounge on the Valhalla campus from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or from 3 to 6 p.m. Besides flu vaccine, uninsured and underinsured students also can get free HPV and meningococcal vaccines.

Each year in the U.S., more than 200,000 people are hospitalized with flu complications. People most at risk for complications from the flu include pregnant women, adults age 50 and older, children under the age of five and their caregivers, residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities and anyone who has certain underlying medical conditions.

Where else can I go to get a flu vaccine?
Adults looking for a flu shot should check with their primary provider or a local pharmacy chain.
