News in brief
Senior citizens 60 years or older can receive a free flu shot at Hoag
Hospital’s annual drive-through shot clinic from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 11
at the hospital’s main campus.
People with chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, severe
anemia or other diseases that affect the immune system can also receive
free shots.
Last year, more than 3,000 people received the shot at the hospital
without leaving their car.
This year’s flu shot contains the strains A/Panama, A/New Caledonia
and A/Yamanashi to give residents immunity against types of flu likely to
occur in the United States this winter.
People allergic to eggs or those currently suffering from a cold, the
flu or fever should not get the shot.
