New September dates are now available for various free medical services for senior citizens of El Paso.

Vaccinations for Health is a program that teams up the El Paso Fire Department with the El Paso Health Department to provide free influenza and pneumonia vaccines, blood pressure and glucose screenings and colorectal screening kits for seniors.

Senior citizens will be able to stop by at the following locations from 8-11 a.m. and can also take advantage of the new influenza vaccine as the new flu season begins.
