Illegal Immigrants Can Get Free Flu Shots

A new state law that creates barriers for undocumented immigrants to receive public benefits will not prevent them from receiving free flu shots, says an attorney for the Oklahoma Department of Health. Illegal immigrants are eligible for the shots, said Charles Broadway, assistant general counsel for the Health Department. The immigration law, House Bill 1804, goes into effect on November 1st but will not apply to flu vaccinations, Broadway said.
