Vote & Vax provides flu shots near polling places on November 6 | Health

Need a flu shot and to vote?  Why not give the Vote & Vax program a try.

Vote & Vax is a national project of the community health organization SPARC (Sickness Prevention Achieved through Regional Collaboration). Tens of millions of Americans vote in elections each fall. Among these voters and others in the community are thousands who are at risk for the flu.

The founders of Vote & Vax recognized the opportunity to safely and conveniently provide flu vaccinations on Election Day. Initially a collaboration between The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and SPARC , Vote & Vax works with local public health providers to assist them in launching vaccination clinics at or near polling places across the country.

There will be clinics at the following Kmart locations, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.:

• Sierra Vista - Kmart Store #3695 – 2011 E. Fry Blvd, 85635
