St. Paul’s Baptist Church flu shot drive

EAST ALBANY, Ga. – Over in east Albany, one local church is trying to help members of their community receive their shots before flu season.

St. Paul’s Baptist Church is hosting their flu and booster shot drive this Saturday at 2605 Sylvester Road.

They’ll be giving out shots with the help of local pharmacies to members of the east Albany community.

We caught up with Pastor Calvin Rollins about the shot drive, and why they want to help their community get in front of flu season.

“But, I know that the season is here now to help our citizens in east Albany especially. It’s a great thing and a great feeling for us to be able to do and serve… So, this is the one way that we can assist in our community and make it a community that much more safe,” said Pastor Calvin Rollins, St. Paul’s Baptist Church.

Pastor Rollins and the members of his congregation are expecting a large turnout Saturday between 9 am and 1 pm.
