“We don’t want any of our flu vaccine to go unused. The flu season runs through March and April and we want get this vaccine out to the community,” Rodriguez added.

The flu shots will be given at the Bellmawr Regional Health Center, 21 E. Browning Road in Bellmawr on Mondays and Tuesdays from 3:00 PM until 4:30 PM.

Flu shots will also be offered at the East Camden Regional Health Center, 2631 Federal Street in Camden on Thursdays from 9:00 AM until 11:00 AM.

Also, children 10 to 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and children under nine are not eligible and should visit a pediatrician.”
