Flu Shots Available at Senior Health Fair
The Cypress Senior Center will host a Health and Wellness Fair on Thursday.
Just in time for flu season, free flu vaccinations will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis for seniors at least 60 years old and adults with serious medical conditions and chronic diseases. Vaccines will be given until 2 p.m., or until supplies are exhausted.
The clinic is co-sponsored by Cypress Recreation and Park District, and La Palma Intercommunity and Martin Luther hospitals.
The fair will also feature free health screenings for those 50 and older. Screenings will include cholesterol, diabetes, hearing, vision, blood pressure and body-fat tests. They will also include massages and acupressure demonstrations and prescription medication and nutrition counseling.
Health specialists will also be on hand to distribute information on nutrition, HMO senior plans, health insurance, local hospitals, in-home services, assisted living, retirement centers and services provided by the Area Agency on Aging.
Police and Fire department displays will provide information on their agencies and disaster preparation.
The center is at 9031 Grindlay St., from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Information: (714) 229-2005.
