Important Health Information
On July 30th NYC DOH started providing updates on a community cluster of Legionnaires’ disease cases in Harlem, specifically citing ZIP codes 10027, 10030,10035, 10037, and 10039 and bordering communities.
What is Legionnaire’s Disease?
Legionnaires’ disease is a type of pneumonia that is caused by the bacteria Legionella, which grows in warm water. People can get Legionnaires’ disease by breathing in water vapor that contains Legionella bacteria. Legionnaires’ disease cannot be transmitted from person to person and can be treated with antibiotics.
What are the symptoms of Legionnaire’s Disease?
People with flu-like symptoms, such as cough, fever, chills, muscle aches, or difficulty breathing should contact a health care provider immediately.
It is especially important for people at higher risk — including those ages 50 and older, cigarette smokers, and people with chronic lung disease or compromised immune systems — to get care if they have symptoms. Legionnaires’ disease can be effectively treated if diagnosed early.
For more information, visit the NYC Health Department’s Legionnaires’ Disease webpage.
COVID-19 Vaccine And Testing
All New Yorkers age 6 months and older are encouraged to get both the updated flu and COVID-19 vaccines this fall for best protection. Adults 65-75 with chronic conditions, those 75 and older, and pregnant individuals should also get the RSV vaccine (or RSV monoclonal antibody for newborns when needed). Vaccinations are available at all 4 Health Center locations at no cost, and many can be administered at the same time. For all updated information, please visit Get the Flu and COVID Shots.
To schedule an appointment to receive your vaccine, please call our Health Centers at 1-718-606-FUND (3863).
