Veterans can get flu shot, hear about benefits Oct. 13

Eligible veterans will be able to receive flu shots and benefits information on Oct. 13 at Channahon village hall.

The Edward Hines Jr. Veterans Affairs Medical Center outreach team coordinator, along with a veterans affairs nurse and a veterans service officer from the Grundy County Veterans Assistance Commission, will be on-site from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 24555 S Navajo Drive in Channahon, according to a news release from the commission.

The nurse will also offer information about other vaccines, the release said.

Those eligible for VA health benefits include those who “served in the active military, naval, or air service and didn’t receive a dishonorable discharge,” the release said.

Veterans should bring a copy of their DD214 and a photo ID.

All veterans are welcome. Registration is not required.
