COLTS, WALGREENS HOST FREE FLU SHOT CLINIC

INDIANAPOLIS – On Tuesday, September 21, the Indianapolis Colts, Walgreen’s and La Plaza teamed up to provide a free flu shot clinic for individuals served by La Plaza, an Indianapolis community center that serves more than 7,000 Latino families every year. This clinic was designed to help educate the football jerseys
Hispanic community about the importance of getting a flu shot.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends flu shots for everyone over the age of 6 months beginning in early September. Only one flu shot is required this season, as the 2010-2011 flu vaccine will protect against H1N1 as well as two other seasonal flu viruses.

Tuesday’s clinic was also a part of the NFL’s league-wide celebration of Bears jersey
Hispanic Heritage Month and featured Colts players David Caldwell and Joe Reitz. The players met with the clinic participants, signed autographs helped keep the participant’s minds off of the little stick from the flu shot.
Walgreen’s stores from all over central Indiana sent representatives to La Plaza to distribute the flu shots. Their staff also provided free diabetes screenings at the clinic.
