More than a thousand senior citizens from across Camden County will attend the Camden County Senior Health Fair and Annual Flu Shot Program Launch today at 10 a.m. at the Forum Catering Hall, 109 N. Black Horse Pike, Gloucester Township.
“The Senior Health Fair gives our senior residents the opportunity to connect with resources they need, as well as receive their annual flu shot at no cost to them,” said Commissioner Virginia Betteridge, liaison to the Camden County Department of Health and Human Services. “The launch of our flu shot program is traditionally coordinated with the Senior Health Fair because residents age 65 and older are among the high priority groups for annual shots.”
Along with flu shots, the event will feature local resources and support services for seniors, giveaways and door prizes, live music and healthy activities, and a complimentary boxed lunch for attendees. Flu shots are available at no-out-of-pocket cost, but seniors receiving Medicare are reminded to bring their Medicare ID cards with them.
The Camden County Board of Commissioners has scheduled eight site locations for the 2025 Seasonal Influenza Immunization Program. For more information, contact the Camden County Department of Health and Human Services at (856) 374-6000, or visit www.camdencounty.com/flu.
