Clinic offers vaccinations Both the influenza and pneumo coccal vaccines will be offered at an Immunization Clinic which will be held at the same time as the regularly scheduled Diabetes Clinic on Thurs day, October 28, from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. You will not need to wait to see a doctor if you come to the Health and Wellness Center only to receive the vaccines. Linda Knight and Shawn Gaddy, Public Health Nurses, and Susan Mathew, Diabe tes Nurse Educator, will be giving the shots. Patients with diabetes should re ceive a flu shot every fall and the pneumonia shot just once. Why? If people with diabetes catch the flu or pneumonia, they arc at greater risk of becoming seriously ill because their immune systems do not work as well as those of non-diabetic patients. When you are ill, it is harder to keep your blood sugar in balance. Let us help you stay well by com ing to the clinic to get your flu and pneumonia shots (if you cannot come to the Immunization Clinic on Octo ber 28, you can make an appointment at any time to get your shots). If you have any questions regarding the immunization clinic, please call Su san Mathew, Diabetes Nurse Educa tor, at 553-2450, or Linda Knight, Public Health Nurse, at 553-1196. Note: The Immunization Clinic will be held in the new Health and Wellness Center.
