Kendal’s 2019 flu vaccination clinic has passed, and we would like to report that only 66 percent of independent-living residents took advantage of the free vaccination. This is significantly lower than the rate in past years.

To ensure that you are protected against the flu this season. It’s not too late to make an appointment at the Resident Care Center to receive the vaccine.

If you were vaccinated elsewhere, please bring documentation to the RCC, so we may update our records.

As per the CDC, influenza viruses circulate year-round; most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February but can last as late as May.

In case of any questions or concerns, please see Julie Moran, RN, in the RCC or call her at ext. 1030 or 1032.
