Say ‘boo’ to the flu this weekend

Austin Independent School District, Austin Public Health and other community partners will host “Boo to the Flu” this Saturday, Oct. 7. The event will feature free seasonal flu vaccines for those six months and older, in addition to “games, treats, and community resources.” No insurance, ID or proof of residency will be required. “Going to the doctor to get a shot, especially when you’re taking a kid, isn’t always fun. This event is looking to change that,” said APH Director Adrienne Sturrup in a statement to the press. “Our nurses are the best in the business and they’re raring to go and get your families the vaccines they need to have a safe rest of the year.” The event will take place on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Allison Elementary School, which is located at 515 Vargas Road.
