Oct 5, 2011 - CITY OF NEWARK OFFERS FREE FLU SHOTS FOR RESIDENTS
For Immediate Release
CITY OF NEWARK OFFERS FREE FLU SHOTS FOR RESIDENTS
AT SITES ACROSS CITY STARTING ON OCTOBER 15
Residents must bring proof of address to receive free vaccinations
Newark, NJ – October 6, 2011 – Mayor Cory A. Booker andChild and Family Well-Being Acting Director L’Tanya Williamson announced today that the City of Newark will provide free influenza vaccinations for Newark residents, throughout the City during the months of October, November, and December, starting on October 15. Details of all sites, dates, and times are listed below.
“October is the beginning of flu season and during this time, I urge all Newark residents, especially those who suffer from chronic medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, lung or heart disease to protect themselves by taking advantage of these free vaccinations. By taking this measure, we can prevent the spread of the flu virus and stay healthier as a community,” said Mayor Booker. “Protect yourself, protect your loved ones. Get the flu vaccine.”
“Let’s keep Newark healthy, and avoid sick days at work and school absenteeism,” said Acting Director Williamson. “Our workforce and children’s education are essential factors in the success and growth of our City and economy. You can contribute to these efforts by maintaining healthy lifestyles and ensuring that your families get the flu shot early to protect their immune systems against the havoc of the influenza virus.”
The 2011 Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Program is provided by the Department of Child and Family Well-Being. Residents seeking the shots must bring proof of address.
The free flu vaccinations will continue to be offered in December as part of National Influenza Immunization Week, an annual event designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to highlight the importance of continuing influenza vaccination, as well as foster greater use of flu vaccine through the months of December 2011 and January 2012. During November and December, the Department of Child and Family Well-Being will administer vaccinations at their clinics at 110 William Street, Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Last year the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted for “universal” flu vaccination in the U.S. to expand protection against the flu to more people.
Newark is one of a few municipalities nationwide that provides uninsured City residents access to affordable, quality healthcare. In addition, the City’s partnership with Heinz Family Philanthropies has resulted in Newark RX and Newark Health Plus, which provide discounted prescription drugs and access to primary medical care. Additional extensive services include, but are not limited to, pediatric care, an adult medical practice, communicable disease control and prevention, a dental clinic, a LEAD prevention program that provides a continuum of care including inspections, abatements, case management and interim housing, health care for the homeless, and a WIC program. These services are largely supported by local, state and federal funding including philanthropic organizations, such as the world-renowned Kresge Foundation, which has contributed $1.5 million in funding to support the City of Newark’s “Getting the Lead Out” initiative.
The health and well-being of Newark’s residents is a priority for the Booker Administration. At his Fourth Annual State of the City Address on February 9, 2010, the Mayor announced that he will serve as National Co-Chair of First Lady Michelle Obama’s campaign to fight childhood obesity. The City has implemented programs such as the “Super Healthy Summer,” the annual Newark Bicycle Tour, and public festivals like this year’s Festival de la Familia Latina, which focused on good health practices and nutritious eating. The City has also provided economic grants and loans to stores that sell fresh food, through the Brick City Development Corporation’s Fresh Foods Program and Small Grocer Initiative. The “Let’s Move Newark” campaign promotes healthy lifestyles, nutritious eating, and efforts to help obese people regain control of their health.
For more information regarding the 2011 Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Program, contact the Non-Emergency Call Center at (973) 733-4311.
