SARATOGA SPRINGS – According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, those over the age of 65 are at a higher risk of complications from the flu compared to young, healthy adults because human immune defenses weaken with age.
Since a flu shot is one of the easiest ways to prevent the flu, The Summit at Saratoga, 1 Perry Road, will host a clinic Monday, Oct. 2 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in association with Hannaford Pharmacy.
“If you’re over 65 or have a chronic disease it’s a smart move to get a flu shot this fall,” said Christy Durant, the Summit at Saratoga’s community manager. “Influenza is easy to prevent, and by taking this simple step you can stay healthy during upcoming flu season.”
Attendees are asked to bring their insurance cards with them to the clinic.
