KEEPING HEALTHY WITH MILLCRE
406 Peach Street, Erie, PA 16507
LifeWorks Erie provides relevant, contemporary programs, services and lifelong learning opportunities that engage individuals
age 50 and older who are interested in staying active mentally and physically and want to lead healthy, vibrant lives.
LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE FLU VACCINATION
The lifelong learning institute provides education and
information on a variety of topics relevant to our members and
the community. These sessions include a variety of classes such as
art, cooking, gardening, music and technology to name a few. Getting an annual flu vaccine is the first and best way to protect
yourself and your family from the flu. Flu vaccination can reduce
flu illnesses, doctor visits, missed work and missed school due to
flu, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations. The more people
who get vaccinated, the more people will be protected from flu,
including older people, very young children, pregnant women and
people with certain health conditions who are more vulnerable to
serious flu complications.
To prepare Erie area residents to combat the flu, the
LifeWorks Erie 2018 Flu and Pneumonia Vaccination campaign
will kick off on Thursday, Sept. 6, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at
the Shrine Club, 2525 West 38th Street. Admission is free, so
come and enjoy the variety of vendors, demonstrations and
presentations on health and wellness available to all who
attend this event.
Following the kick off, LifeWorks Erie’s community clinics will be
held throughout the region at many convenient locations from
early September thru the end of November.
Flu shots will be available Monday through Friday at LifeWorks
Erie’s main office at 406 Peach Street from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
When getting vaccinated at one of our clinics no appointment
is necessary and there is no up-front cost. Simply present your
primary health insurance card and LifeWorks Erie staff will do all the
rest. The cost of the vaccination is usually covered by an individual’s
primary health insurance. LifeWorks Erie will directly bill all health
insurance providers, including Medicare and Medicaid. All proceeds
remain in Erie County and help underwrite the many programs and
services for older adults provided by LifeWorks Erie.
LifeWorks Erie has been providing flu vaccinations to adults and
to children age 9 and older in Erie and Crawford counties for nearly
40 years.
