Beacon Christian Community Health Center’s Outdoor flu vaccination offers free immunity health services on tw - SILive.com

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The Beacon Christian Community Center in Mariners Harbor has been listed as one of the recommended flu vaccination pop-up sites across the city by the NYC Department of Health.

While vaccinations for seasonal flu will be readily available, Beacon will also provide vaccines for HPV, Hepatitis B, pneumonia, menveo, measles, mumps, rubella and whooping cough.

“With the impending spread of coronavirus, it’s important now more than ever to get vaccinated,” said Janet Kim, chief medical officer, Beacon Christian Community Health Center. The health of our immune system this flu season is imperative, especially as the months get colder and winter approaches."

The Department of Health estimates that roughly 2,000 New Yorkers die of seasonal flu and its complications — a number that we can all agree is too high, she said. "These pop-up sites make vaccinations readily accessible and limits the added risks presented by COVID-19, by setting up outdoors and practicing social distancing.”

And they’ve already seen an increase of patients opting for vaccinations this season at the health care center.

“Our first outdoor event had a sizable turnout and we look forward to being able to continue to provide more residents with free services through our Vaccines for Adults program, which allows the opportunity for uninsured or underinsured adult patients over the age of 18 to be vaccinated,” added Dr. Janet Kim.

Beacon’s upcoming outdoor pop-up events are scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 21 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at 2079 Forest Ave. in Mariners Harbor.
