People had an opportunity to get ahead of the cold and flu season at LECOM this morning.

State Representative Bob Merski teamed up with LECOM to host a vaccine clinic at his office on Buffalo Road.

LECOM staff administered flu shots and COVID-19 vaccines to community members.

The goal was to provide a convenient way for people to protect themselves and their loved ones as respiratory illness season approaches.

“We are just happy to host LECOM at our office to give people a nice spot closer to home to receive their vaccine. It’s a convenient location, and whoever wants it can get it close by,” said Emily Walsh of Representative Merski’s District Office.
