NANUET, NY – In the midst of one of the most widespread flu seasons seen in nearly a decade, Senator David Carlucci (D-Rockland/Westchester) today held a free flu shot clinic for Rockland County residents who have yet to be vaccinated. The event, held at Senator Carlucci’s district office in Nanuet, was conducted in partnership with Nyack Hospital, who provided on-site nursing staff and pharmacists to administer vaccines that guard against influenza.
“Drawing residents from Stony Point to Sloatsburg, our flu shot clinic was an overwhelming success that will ultimately will protect residents and keep them healthy in the months ahead,” said Senator Carlucci. “I would like to thank Nyack Hospital for their efforts and for working together for the benefit of the entire community.”
In total, over 50 residents attended the three hour clinic that ran from the late afternoon through the early evening.
