New strains of COVID-19 and flu are circulating, and seniors have a higher risk of severe illness from these viruses. Fountain Valley Senior Center (FVSC) is doing its part to help. 

FVSC is one of 150 senior centers across the country selected by the National Council on Aging (NCOA) to vaccinate seniors in the fall respiratory illness season. Participating senior centers receive $10,000 each and are required to provide a minimum of 100 updated COVID-19 or flu shots. The NCOA is particularly interested in connecting with diverse, hard-to-reach populations, including communities of color, rural individuals and Spanish speakers. 

FVSC is located at 5745 Southmoor Drive, Fountain. Dates and times TBA. Call 719-600-2644 or visit fvscenter.org for more information.
