Golden offers free flu shots to senior citizens
If you’re a senior citizen and you haven’t gotten your flu shot yet this season, a Brooklyn lawmaker is giving you a chance to become inoculated against the bug.
State Sen. Marty Golden (R-C-Bay Ridge-southern Brooklyn) is joining forces with Coney Island Hospital to offer free flu shots at three locations in his senate district next week.
But there’s a catch. Anyone interested in getting a flu shot must make an appointment by calling Golden’s office at 718-238-6044. Walk-ins will not be accepted.
The flu shots will be distributed on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Carmine Carro Community Center, 3000 Fillmore Ave.; on Thursday, Oct. 24, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Bay Ridge Manor, 476 76th St.; and on Tuesday, Oct. 29, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at St. Simon and Jude Catholic Church, 294 Avenue T.
