University of Kansas Medical Center -
This year's event will be at a new location on campus, in the parking lot just east of 36th and Rainbow Boulevard in Kansas City, Kansas;
8am-1pm - or while supplies last; FREE!
No appointment or cost is required for the shot - HOWEVER- To support Harvesters, the Community Food Network, you can donate non-perishable food items, paper products or a monetary gift; Shots are available to anyone 18 and older; open to residents of either Kansas or Missouri; Shots are for the typical seasonal flu variety, as vaccines for the swine flu (H1N1 virus) have not been released.
Shots are recommended for most people who already suffer from a disease or physical condition; “Late October to early November is the best time of year for a flu vaccination,” said William Barkman, M.D., pulmonary and critical care specialist and chief of staff at KU Hospital. “Since the body’s immune system takes time to respond to vaccine, it should be given one to two weeks before the flu season begins in order to stimulate enough antibodies to prevent infection.”; 913-588-1227; http://www.kumed.com/
