Health Lecture: Vaccinations

Senior Citizens are not keeping their vaccinations up to date. Far too many adults become ill, disabled or die each year from diseases that could easily have been prevented by keeping their vaccinations current. Arcadia Senior Services in partnership with Methodist Hospital have a special guest speaker, Dr. Joel Streng, a specialist in infectious disease. He will present a free health lecture on Tuesday, September 27, 1:30pm at the Arcadia Community Center, 365 Campus Drive.

Unfortunately some adults were never vaccinated as children or the newer vaccines were not available when some adults were young. Immunity can fade over time and we become more susceptible to serious diseases caused by common infections such as flu, pneumonia, etc.  Dr. Streng will speak about what immunizations senior citizens should have and why and how often we should repeat them.

Pre-registration is required and can be made by calling Arcadia Senior Services 626.574.5130 before September 21.
