Geisinger offers flu shots and health resources at the Bloomsburg Fair

As the 171st Bloomsburg Fair quickly approaches, Geisinger will show its community support with volunteer teams set up throughout the fair. A Geisinger team will be in place at Gate 5, Monday, Sept. 28, through Friday, Oct. 2, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., to welcome fairgoers, answer questions and share resources.

Fairgoers can protect themselves and their families ahead of the flu season by stopping by the Caleb Barton House to get their free flu shot on Monday, Sept. 28, Wednesday, Sept. 30, and Friday, Oct. 2, weather permitting. Flu vaccination is recommended each year to reduce the risk of illness and hospitalization during the flu season. 

Geisinger Health Plan’s Geisinger Gold team will also be in the Arts and Crafts building Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. If you’re 65 or older, stop by to learn more about Geisinger Gold Medicare Advantage. 

“The Bloomsburg Fair is a longstanding tradition that brings communities together from across our region, and Geisinger is proud to be a part of it,” said Alex Zimmerman, chief administrative officer of Geisinger’s central region. “We look forward to connecting with fairgoers, helping people stay healthy through flu vaccinations and celebrating the community spirit that makes this event so special.”
