Over the next two Fridays, seniors who live in Rockland County can be vaccinated against this year’s predicted flu viruses for free. The flu vaccines are also available to residents aged 9 through 64—for a $30 fee.
These are just the first flue clinics of the season sponsored by the Rockland County Department of Health.
They’ll be held from 1-4 p.m. Sept. 19 and Sept. 26 in the Robert L. Yeager Health Center, Building A Exhibition Hall, located at 50 Sanatorium Road in Pomona.
