“Why are you getting your flu shot today?”

Tameka McCabe, Clinical Field Manager, Manhattan

“A flu shot is the most important thing you can do to protect yourself, your patients and your colleagues! Flu shot or mask up!!”

Kaiser Mojica, Professional Nurse, Manhattan

“I don’t want to have to wear a mask with patients, plus it keeps me from getting sick.  Overall, it’s just plain better to help develop an immunity against the virus.”

Orlando Tsang, CHOICE Partnership Account Manager

“Everyone who works at VNSNY is a health care pioneer and needs to do the right thing by protecting our patients. As healthcare practitioners, we should be good role models for the community.”

Wilma Hilton and Thandi Dickenson, Public Health Nurses, Manhattan

“VNSNY makes it so easy to get your flu shot. It only takes a few minutes!”

Tatyana Feldman, Quality Improvement Manager

“The main reason I get a flu shot is to protect my children and to be a good role model for them to get their flu shots. Getting the flu shot is not just about you NOT spreading the flu, but it also protects you, your family and your patients from the flu virus as you do not know who will be sitting next to you on the subway.”

Tania Fairweather, Branch Director, Brooklyn

“I encourage everyone to get their flu shot to protect yourself against the four strains of the virus that are out there this year. Don’t wait and risk getting the flu!”

Natasha Merjuste, Clinical Field Manager, Manhattan

“I know there are people out there who put off getting the flu shot because of the discomfort, but it is brief and will pass. The mobile cart at 220 East 42nd Street makes it even easier to get your flu shot this year.”
