New York, NY – New York State Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal announced that she will be providing free flu shots for district residents on October 26, 2010 from 1 – 4 pm. The event was arranged in partnership with St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital.

Flu shots will be administered at Assemblymember Rosenthal’s district office at 230 West 72nd Street, Suite 2F. Although this service is free of charge, appointments are required and can be made by calling Rosenthal’s office at (212) 873-6368.

“Too often, people underestimate the danger that the common flu poses for seniors, young children and the infirm,” said Assemblymember Rosenthal. “I’m pleased to be working with St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital to provide this service to our community. I hope West Siders take advantage of these flu shots so they can stay safe this winter.”
