Seasonal Flu Weekly Vaccine Update 10-19-09 

We continue to have an inadequate supply of vaccine product in all of our clinics. If you have a flu shot scheduled this week and we do not have the type of vaccine you need available, the clinics will be calling you to cancel the appointment. One option for obtaining the seasonal flu vaccine continues to be contacting your local pharmacy to see if they have seasonal flu vaccine available for children 9 years and older.

Seasonal Flu Weekly Vaccine Update 10-12-09

Due to delayed shipment of the Seasonal Flu Vaccine, our clinics will not have adequate vaccine product in our clinics until November. If you have scheduled an appointment in one of our flu clinics, you may be rescheduled depending on availability of the seasonal flu vaccine. Seasonal flu vaccine may be currently available at your local pharmacy for children 9 years and older. Seasonal influenza generally begins in December. Vaccinating for this in November will be adequate. We will continue to update this website when new vaccine arrives.
