CLEVELAND -- The Academy of Medicine of Cleveland & Northern Ohio (AMCNO) will host the successful Vote & Vaccinate program for the ninth consecutive year this Election Day at polling locations across the region. Both Pneumonia and Flu shots will be administered to residents in neighborhoods where vaccination rates are low among this population. Guidelines established by The Centers for Disease Control indicate October and November as the ideal months for the most effective immunization against these illnesses, especially for those in the high risk priority group of 65 years and older. The cost of flu and pneumonia shots is covered by Medicare Part B. Registered nurses will administer the vaccines at seven local polling sites on both the east and west sides of Cleveland between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. For Pilgrim Congregational and Open Door Baptist Churches, the hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Vote & Vaccinate is a parallel program to voting and not connected with the Board of Elections. The goal is simply to offer the vaccinations conveniently to seniors and others when they go out to vote November 4. The 2008 program is proudly co-sponsored by the AMCNO, Cuyahoga County Board of Health, Cleveland Department of Public Health, Parma Community General Hospital and Ohio KePRO, Inc. Election sites participating in the Vote & Vaccinate Program are listed below. For more general information, visit www.amcnoma.org or call 216.520.1000. * Normandy High School, 2500 W.
