STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Staten Islanders getting short shrift from the city usually involves a bruised ego.
But this time, it may be hazardous to your health.
Uninsured borough residents will not be able to obtain free flu shots on Staten Island from the city Health Department this season because of renovations to its St. George clinic.
And the city appears indifferent about leaving Islanders in the lurch -- again..
