Thanksgiving Luncheon Nov. 18:
Get Your Flu Shot and a Free CLE Credit

The DeKalb Bar November luncheon offers a different kind of program with two special opportunities: flu shots and free CLE credit for Learning about Westlaw. From 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., North Atlanta Urgent Care, a local emergency care clinic, will provide the flu shots on site in the “jury room” on a first-come basis. The shots will be $20 per person, but are free to anyone showing his or her Medicare card and drivers’ license.

Flu shots are recommended for all people six months of age or older. This is especially important for those who come in contact with lots of people, whether by sitting in a crowded courtroom, meeting different clients throughout the day, or even flying off to a deposition breathing recycled airplane air. Influenza can occur at any time, but most cases occur from November through May. In recent seasons, most have occurred in January and February.

The 2010-2011 vaccine provides protection against A/H1N1 (pandemic) influenza and two other influenza viruses – influenza A/H3N2 and influenza B. It takes up to two weeks for protection to develop after the shot. Protection lasts about a year. People who got the 2009 H1N1 (pandemic) influenza vaccine, or had pandemic flu in 2009, should still get the 2010-2011 seasonal influenza vaccine.

North Atlanta Urgent Care is open seven days a week at 2700 Clairmont Rd. For more information visit www.NAUC.net.

Also during the luncheon Westlaw will provide a presentation in which we can sign up for a free CLE credit. Westlaw has been a fantastic supporter of the DeKalb Bar and our activities, including our luncheons, and we appreciate this extra opportunity for CLE credit.
