Roll up sleeves! Brooklyn pols offer free flu shots
Treyger, Golden partnering with local hospitals
Residents of Southwest Brooklyn who haven’t yet gotten their flu shots will have a chance to take steps to protect their health thanks to two local lawmakers. Councilmember Mark Treyger and state Sen. Marty Golden are each working with local hospitals to sponsor health days in which flu shots will be administered for free.
Treyger (D-Coney Island-Gravesend-Bensonhurst) said he is working with the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation to offer the flu shots.
Gravesend residents can visit Most Precious Blood Youth Center at 2739 Harway Ave. on Oct. 17 between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to receive flu shots.
