Kingdom Day Festival: Free H1N1 Flu Shots by T.H.E. Clinic

As part of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day festivities, T.H.E. Clinic is hosting a free H1N1 vaccine clinic at the Kingdom Day Festival in Leimert Park on Monday, January 18 from 9 am to 3:30 p.m.  

Free Ralph’s gift cards and t-shirts will be given away to the first 100 people (first come, first served basis).   Attendees can also visit T.H.E. Clinic’s booth to take photos with a life-sized cardboard, cut-out of President Obama, who recently got his H1N1 flu vaccination. T.H.E. staff and partners will also be on hand to answer any questions attendees have about H1N1 flu vaccines and the services available at the clinic.

 

T.H.E. Clinic, where T.H.E. stands for “To Help Everyone”, is one of the few non-profit health care clinics in Southwest Los Angeles, serving part of a dense urban area of over one million people, almost one-third of whom are uninsured. 

“As a doctor, one of the most important things I can do is to help my patients make the decisions that can keep them healthy,” notes Tracy D. Robinson, MD, Medical Director of T.H.E. Clinic. “When it comes to flu vaccines, I tell my patients that the decision is clear. The risk of side effects from these vaccines is far less than the risk of catching the flu, a serious and sometimes deadly disease.”
