The Muscular Dystrophy Association is again offering free flu shots for people who are affected by any of the more than 40 neuromuscular disorders covered by MDA programs. MDA works to defeat neuromuscular diseases that affect children and adults through programs of worldwide research, comprehensive services, and far-reaching professional and public health education.
Flu shots are vitally important in reducing their risk of respiratory infections.
That's why MDA offers this important weapon against influenza. People registered with MDA may have transportation made available or be reimbursed for travel costs to visit the MDA clinic nearest them. The Association will also pay a local doctor to administer a flu shot if a person registered with MDA isn't close to one of MDA's 230 clinics. For more information or to set an appointment for a free flu shot, call your local MDA office . MDA is a national voluntary health agency dedicated to finding treatments and cures for neuromuscular diseases affecting more than a million Americans.
