CHICAGO – As the weather gets colder, Senator Cristina Pacione-Zayas is hosting a Fall Family Health Fair to help keep folks in her community from getting sick, and will be offering free flu shots, COVID shots and boosters, blood pressure checks, physicals, and more.
“When we move into cold and flu season, a lot of folks are more prone to illness, which can keep them out of work and school, result in expensive medical bills or just simply make them feel crummy,” said Pacione-Zayas (D-Chicago). “We are offering resources like flu and COVID shots to help prevent people in our community from getting sick and avoid these stressors. I hope families will utilize this opportunity, and join me in prioritizing their health this fall.”
The Fall Family Health Fair will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Nov. 5 at Kosciuszko Park, 2732 N. Avers Ave. in Chicago.
The Fall Family Health Fair is being co-sponsored by State Representative Will Guzzardi (D-Chicago) and the Kosciuszko Park Advisory Council. In addition to the free health services, the fair is offering a variety of fall-themed family activities. Attendees will be able to participate in free face-painting, take free family portraits, and go home with free children’s books. There will also be free hot chocolate for guests to enjoy and keep warm.
"This event will be a great opportunity to get flu shots, COVID boosters, and to have a great time," said Rep. Guzzardi. "We're excited to offer all these services and activities free of charge to our neighbors, and we encourage everyone to come by and celebrate the season with us."
