LVHN administers more than 10,000 flu shots

Lehigh Valley Health Network once again administered free seasonal flu vaccinations for adults and children six months and older during two community sessions in November.

Shots were all drive-thru at Dorney Park Nov. 3 and at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown Nov. 4.

LVHN partnered with area food banks and shelters including the Allentown Area Ecumenical Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank, Allentown Rescue Mission and the AIDS Activities Office food pantry to accept donations of non-perishable food items that have not expired during each of the drive-thru sessions. Food donations were optional and not required to receive a shot.

Those planning to receive a shot were urged to register online in advance. Hourly slots are available for both sessions.

According to Terry Burger, RN, LVHN's director of infection control and prevention, the vaccine supply is plentiful this year.
