Say Boo! to the Flu with Bethel Visiting Nurses

The Bethel Visiting Nurse Association (BVNA) is holding a flu vaccination drive in the gym at Frank A. Berry Elementary School on Tuesday, Oct. 8 for Bethel residents of all ages.

The “Say ‘Boo!’ to the Flu” event will run from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and will also include prevention tips and giveaways along with flu vaccines.

Children under 4 years of age are free regardless of insurance coverage.

If BVNA is not covered by your insurance plan, regular flu shots are $35 and the nasal spray (for healthy persons age 2 to 49) for $45.

Cash, checks, credit and Health Savings Account cards accepted.
