About 200 Pattaya senior citizens received flu shots as
part of a city preventative-health fair.
Pattaya Elderly Club President Pranee Maneekorn and city
Public Health and Environment Department Director Wannaporn Jamjumrus led
about 500 area residents, doctors and nurses in meditation, praying, and
lectures on better living July 13.
High-risk club members received vaccinations for the H1N1
2009, and A and B types of H3N2 influenza. In addition to inoculating those
with chronic diseases or at-risk physiology, city officials also want to
vaccinate toddlers, babies and pregnant women.
