OPERATION IMMUNIZATION IN THE NEWS!
Mundelein Health Fair 2018
On November 17th, 2018 a few of our SNPhA members attended a health clinic in Mundelein and administered flu shots to everyone free of charge! The health fair provided different services such as flu shots, cholestech, BP and BMI screenings as well as podiatry services and patient education.
We had a total of 55 patients stop by and 40 of the patients received flu shots.
There were 30 students volunteering at the health fair, and four of them were pharmacy students. We provided counseling to each patient before and after they received their flu shot.
SNPhAMs encouraged students to write a letter to Congress to help stop them from cutting funds that would provide life saving vaccinations in Africa! It took only a few minutes to do and together we made an IMPACT!
