As flu season approaches, we are anticipating an increased demand for influenza vaccinations.  We will be holding walk-in flu shot clinics in our annex  throughout flu season as long as our supply lasts.  Our schedule of flu shot days will be posted as soon as it is available.  We hope to be able to hold some evening and/or weekend clinics in October and November if our supply permits.  We encourage all of our patients over 6 months of age to receive the flu shot. You may not receive the flu shot if you are allergic to eggs. 

Flu shots are also generally available at local drug stores and departments of health.  Overlook Hospital and Morristown Hospital will likely also be holding flu clinics this year.  Please consider all available opportunities to receive your flu shot.  We will not be scheduling appointments for flu shots during regular office hours.    

Please check this website frequently for updates on the scheduled dates of our flu clinics as well as the Overlook and Morristown dates.  Also, as our flu vaccine shipments will be periodic throughout flu season, please check the website before coming to a scheduled flu shot date as if our supply is out, we will need to cancel the session. Updates will be posted on the home page.

The flu vaccine for 2010 will contain the H1N1  vaccine as well. If your child is under 9 years of age and did NOT receive 2 doses of H1N1 vaccine last year, then he/she should receive 2 doses of flu vaccine this year, at least 4 weeks apart.
