Supervisor Romo West Thanks Aurora Walker’S Point for Stepping Up to Care for the Less Fortunate this Flu Season

Milwaukee – Milwaukee County Supervisor Peggy Romo West, District 12, has worked with Aurora Walker’s Point Community Clinic to provide 100 free flu shots on Monday, December 3 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the St. Vincent de Paul Meal Site, located at 931 W. Madison St.eet in Milwaukee.

St. Vincent de Paul Meal Ministry provides an average of 250 meals a night to low-income and homeless individuals and families on the near south side. The flu shots provided will improve public health as there is evidence that influenza vaccination is a safe, preventive health measure with potential benefit across all age groups.

“I’d like to thank Aurora Health Care for its commitment to the health of our neighborhoods,” said Supervisor Romo West, who serves as chair of the Health and Human Needs Committee of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors.

Participants are not required to bring anything with them to receive a free flu shot.
