Flu Shots at VHH
Verdugo Hills Hospital (VHH) is offering free flu immunizations to residents 55 years of age and older on Thursday, Nov. 1 from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. in the hospital’s Council Room (located on the fourth floor lobby). Flu shots will be administered on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.

The flu shots are also available to adults who are under a doctor’s care for long-term health or lung problems; anyone who has been admitted to a hospital within the past year for treatment of kidney disease, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, anemia or severe asthma; and anyone who has a type of cancer of immunological disorder, which lowers the body’s normal resistance to infections.

Caution – People who have a serious allergic reaction to eggs should not be vaccinated because the vaccine is made in eggs.

For more information, call the VHH flu hotline at (818) 949-4003.
