Again, this year, USC Arcadia Hospital is offering free flu shots through their parish nurse program. However, the 2024-2025 flu vaccine that the hospital provides is for adults ages 8-64. Sign up after Church or contact the Church Office for information to contact Lynne Rivera, parish nurse.

The Centers for Disease Control recommends a high-dose flu vaccine for people 65 years or older. If you fall into this age group, it is recommended that you get your flu shot through your health care provider or your preferred pharmacy.
