On Thursday, February 7, 2012, State Senator Jeff Klein held a free flu vaccine event at Vladeck Hall at 74 Van Cortlandt Park
South in the Bronx.. The event was co-sponsored by
Jacobi Hospital where a RN from Jacobi gave free flu vaccinations to
attendees who signed up for them. By offering free flu vaccinations, Senator Klein, working with the Jacobi Hospital, wants to help Bronx residents protect themselves
and their families against influenza. The flu season lasts through May, yet it
peaks in February. The sooner Bronxites get vaccinated, the better protected
the community will be from influenza.On hand were co-sponsor Assemblyman Jeff Dinowitz, and 11th city council district candidate Andrew Cohen.
