Town flu and pneumonia immunization program scheduled Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto announced that the Town, in conjunction with the Nassau University Medical Center, is offering both flu and pneumonia immunization, with no out-of-pocket expense, to Town senior citizens 60 years of age and older. "It's the time of year when we must begin preparing for winter months ahead," Supervisor Venditto said. "Cold temperatures and icy winds bring flu season into our area each year without fail. Unfortunately, senior citizens are particularly vulnerable to the flu's sometimes devastating effects. In an effort to protect them from both the flu and pneumonia, the Town will, once again, be providing flu and pneumonia shots at no out-of-pocket expense to our senior citizens." Supervisor Venditto indicated that the immunization program will be held on the following dates: Thursday, November 16, Marjorie R. Post Park Community Center, Unqua and Merrick Roads, Massapequa, 1:30 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. Friday, November 17, Ellsworth W. Allen Town Park, 45 Motor Ave., Farmingdale, 2 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. "In order to take advantage of this important program, seniors must register in advance," Supervisor Venditto stated.
Supervisor Venditto noted that for further information about the Town of Oyster Bay Flu and Pneumonia Immunization Program, senior residents should contact the Department of Community and Youth Services, Senior Citizen Services Division, at 797- 7900.
