Free Public Skate and Vaccination Clinic at Comcast Arena - Saturday, January 11th 2014 from 3:30-5:30 (Ice Skating available starting at 2:30pm)


Looks like shots may only be for adults and I am not sure about the skating. But, if you live in the area and are an adult who's around kids and wants/needs to get a flu-shot this might be the way to go!
" The Everett Public Facilities District and Global Spectrum are putting flu season on ice again in 2014! 

On Saturday, January 11, Comcast Arena and the Comcast Community Ice Rink will host a free public skate and vaccination clinic to serve uninsured and low-income adults in the Snohomish County area. Volunteers and staff from the Snohomish Health District, Mukilteo-South Everett Rotary, and Walgreens will provide adults with flu shots and whooping cough vaccinations from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm.

Guests of the event will skate on the Comcast Arena’s main ice rink where the Everett Silvertips play their home games. Skating is from 2:30 to 5:30 pm. Guests are asked to enter through the Comcast Community Ice Rink entrance (Broadway).

Flu season has begun in Snohomish County. Getting a flu shot every year is the best way to prevent infection. 

Vaccination is also the best protection against whooping cough. Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is no longer at epidemic levels in Snohomish County, but cases of it are still being confirmed and it can be deadly to babies. It is especially important that all pregnant women and people who are around newborns – including teens, grandparents, and childcare workers – get the booster shot to protect the infant.

Vaccinations will be administered on a first-come, first-served basis. "
