Midwood residents line up to get their flu shots
“Roll up your sleeves. This won’t hurt a bit.” Nearly 200 residents heard that those words and dutifully rolled up their shirtsleeves so that nurses would give them a flu shot.
The scene didn’t take place in a hospital or a doctor’s office. The flu shots were given at state Sen. Simcha Felder’s district office in Midwood on Tuesday.
Felder (D-Borough Park-Midwood) arranged for nurses from Beth Israel Medical Center to come to the office to distribute the flu shots. Felder was offering the flu shots for free.
