Flu Shot Clinics

Believe it or not, summer is nearly over and it is again time to think about your flu vaccine.  The CDC recommends flu vaccine for all individuals age 6 months and older, even those with egg allergy (please discuss this with us if you have egg allergy).  Flu vaccine is especially important for individuals with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes and lung disease that makes them more susceptible to the flu virus.  You can call to schedule your flu vaccine for one of our upcoming flu shot clinics.  All clinics dates and times are for BOTH OFFICE LOCATIONS in Augusta and Waterville.  Flu season in Maine typically begins in January and can last through May.  Getting your flu vaccine too early (August) may lead to less immunity in the Spring months when the flu virus may still be in the community.
