Assemblyman Colton (D – Gravesend, Bensonhurst, Bath Beach, and Dyker Heights) is pleased to say that together with the Rite Aid Pharmacy, he has sponsored the series of free Flu Shots that took place at neighborhood community organizations like the Health Essential Association, the Chinese American Social Service Center, the Federation of Italian American Organizations of Brooklyn and the United Chinese Association of Brooklyn.

“The free flu shot events were successful, and I am glad that a number of seniors were able to get them. The flu shots are free and available to everyone. I personally took a flu shot at one of the centers and encourage people to do the same especially seniors. I believe that this year it is even more essential due to the COVID-19 spread,” Colton said.

“If any organization would like to hold such an event, then they should call my office at (718)236- 1598 to arrange a date and time. I’ll be more than happy to assist in scheduling such an event,” Colton added.
