VNA Offering Flu Shots to Displaced South Florida Residents

VERO BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 4, 2005) – With the recent cancellation of numerous flu clinics throughout Indian River County and south Florida, the Visiting Nurse Association of the Treasure Coast reminds residents they can still get their immunizations at local VNA clinics.  

 

“Many South Florida residents who were displaced after Hurricane Wilma are now staying in our community.
