With the annual flu season approaching, the Tzu Chi USA Northwest Region San Francisco Branch joined forces with Walgreens Pharmacy to co-sponsor a free flu shot event for the third year in a row to help boost Chinatown residents’ immunity and avoid a dual infection of flu and COVID-19. The event, held on September 3 at Central Chinese High School in America, was designated for residents aged three and above who don’t have health insurance or whose coverage doesn’t include flu shots. By the end of the day, 150 people received flu shots with the help of 25 volunteers. Children also got free back-to-school supplies.
