The Nassau County Department of Health offered free H1N1 vaccinations to CSEA Local 830 members across Nassau County, the week of February 22. They were offered at 240 Old Country Road, the District Attorney’s office, DPW Headquarters, Bay Park and Cedar Creek Sewer Maintenance Facilities and the Aquatic Center at Eisenhower Park. The Department of Health had already administered these vaccinations at Social Services.
CSEA Local 830 President Jerry Laricchiuta said, “We felt it was important to offer this to the members as there is not always enough time to go to the doctor to receive your shot. Especially, we didn’t want any members having to pay for the vaccination when we had a free alternative here in the County.”
