Each year we begin influenza vaccinations as soon as we receive the vaccines.
This year, we began in August and have administered over 3000 influenza vaccines during office visits, shot appointments, and Saturday walk-in clinics as advertised on this website.
WE HAVE EXHAUSTED OUR SUPPLY OF INFLUENZA VACCINE FOR CHILDREN OVER 3 YEARS OF AGE, BUT STILL HAVE SOME VACCINE FOR THOSE LESS THAN 3 YEARS.
By patient request, we only stock thimerosal-free vaccine, and we have reached our allotment from the manufacturer. A few local pharmacies still have some stock remaining.
