MIAMI SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) — Seniors in Miami-Dade County can get their flu immunizations for free.
Miami-Dade County Commissioner Rebeca Sosa is partnering with the Miami-Dade County Health Department to offer free flu immunizations for residents who are 65 and older. The immunizations will be administered Thursday at the Miami Springs Recreation Center.
A county news release says the event is open to everyone. Children can also receive the immunization at no cost, but adults will have to pay $25.
Health officials say the flu can cause mild to severe respiratory illness. They recommend getting vaccinated every year.
