They served as part of our national defense and now they are working on defending their immune system.
The Scottsbluff V.A. Clinic hosts an all-day flu clinic to veterans.
Shots are free for any veteran, they just have to be currently enrolled in any V.A. Clinic.
A single flu shot each year greatly helps reduce the risk of catching the influenza virus during the winter months.
"We have a very large veteran population, so their immune systems are not as strong. And we also have many veterans with cold, Emphysema Asthma, so their repertory systems aren't strong to begin with."
For those who missed out on today's clinic, there will be another flu shot clinic in November.
