Flu shots, blood tests at health fair for seniors

Flu shots and health screenings will be offered at tomorrow's Maui PrimeTime Wellness Fair from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Velma Santos Community Center in Wailuku.

The event, sponsored by First Hawaiian Bank, will feature more than 33 exhibitors promoting healthy lifestyles for seniors. Blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol screening will be offered, and there will be door prizes, games and entertainment.

Free flu vaccinations will be available for HMSA members and Medicare Part B beneficiaries. To help seniors prevent ID theft, Access Information Management will be on site to shred up to four boxes of personal documents at no charge.

Other event sponsors are the county Office on Aging and Clinical Laboratories of Hawai'i.
