"We encourage all residents to attend this clinic with their families in order to stay safe, healthy and protected from the flu this winter."

Residents are asked to wear a short-sleeved or loose-fitting shirt to the clinic and bring all insurance and Medicare cards and a form of ID. Face masks are required and those who feel ill are asked to stay at home.
