It's an unusual move for a doctor, but one local health practice is inviting local residents to take part in "Shots-n-Shots", a fun idea for free flu shots and a holiday party to celebrate. For the free shots, just email Hello Health by 5 p.m. on Dec. 2 and you'll receive a reply with an appointment sometime between Tuesday and Friday.
That RSVP also gets you an invite to the Hello Health holiday party at Teddy's Bar and Grill, located right next to the Williamsburg Hello Health practice.
Hello Health is a "revolutionary" new health practice with Internet-friendly doctors. They focus on a generation without easy access to health care and a fear of the booking process of traditional doctors. Self-described, they're "a new experience with your doctor. The internet and your own personal neighborhood doctor who uses it to communicate with you equals easy access when and how you want it."
For the email address, dates, times, and other information, visit Dr. Jay Parkinson's webpage. To see if the flu's a threat to your neighborhood, check out Google's Flu Tracker, "a simple web tool that will track and chart the flu as it spreads around the country". Visit BuzzFeed for more links.
