The Northern Indiana Hispanic Health Coalition (NIHHC), Walgreens, Walmart Pharmacy, K21 Health Foundation and Our Lady of Guadalupe in Warsaw will be joining forces to provide critically needed flu shots to the communities of Kosciusko County.
On Jan. 10, at Our Lady of Guadalupe, 225 Gilliam Drive, Warsaw, Walgreens staff will be administering flu shots to anyone over the age of 11 at the parking lot of the church. Shots will be offered free to uninsured patients, with no appointment or doctor’s referral needed.
If you are unable to attend the Jan. 10 event, but are in need of a flu shot, contact NIHHC at 574-206-3938 or 574-522-0966. You will be asked some eligibility questions and then, if you are eligible, you will receive a voucher to have your free flu shot administered at Walmart Pharmacy, 2501 Walton Blvd., Warsaw.
There are more than 404,000 Hispanics in Indiana and almost 70% do not have health care coverage, according to a news release from NIHHC. As the population continues to grow, more community members will be left without coverage. NIHHC hopes to help provide much needed healthcare resources to those in the community who need it most.
