The Henrico County Health Department will provide free flu shots at two FluFIT events in October.
Flu vaccinations will be offered from 1 to 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 7 at the Health Department East Clinic, 1400 N. Laburnum Ave., and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23 at the Mount Vernon Adult Education Center, 7850 Carousel Lane.
Both events are open to the public and available to everyone ages 6 months and older. Parents must accompany minors. Flu shots will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Individuals ages 65 and older are advised that the shots will not be a high-dosage vaccine.
As part of the FluFIT events, Hitting Cancer Below the Belt, a Richmond-based nonprofit organization committed to colorectal cancer prevention in the region and across Virginia, will offer prescreening for colorectal cancer. For more information, go to hcb2.org.
