Did you know that pneumococcal diseases can effect your lungs, brain, and blood. A local company called Professional Health Examiners is offering low cost Pneumonia vaccines from June 1st through June 26th. One vaccine will protect you until your 65 years old and if you're over 65 it's once every 10 years. It protects against 200 types of pneumonia, upper respiratory diseases, and infections. If you have Medicare part B the vaccine is free!!!
Professional Health Examiners is located at 1131 Mack Bayou Rd. (about a mile down from Sacred Heart Hospital) their phone number is 267-0360. Give them a call and get protected!

edit: For the pneumonia vaccine, it protects against 23 types of pneumococcal bacteria not 200.
Sorry!

Thanks for this post. One clarification however, the latest ACIP guidelines advocate a single vaccination after age 65 with the exception of some very high risk populations.
