I hope that high-risk people (well, those who aren't allergic to eggs) will take advantage of this offer. I am glad that my workplace was giving free flu shots, but I can't find a place where my husband can receive a shot. He does not fit a high risk group & won't be going to this flu shot fair. Therefore, we hope that all of those at risk who can make it actually go & stay well this winter season. :)
