SEASONAL FLU VACCINE

NOTE: Your own doctor may be your best option for getting seasonal flu vaccine. Many health care providers have received supplies of seasonal flu vaccine, while other providers are still waiting to receive their vaccines. Providers will continue to receive vaccines in the coming weeks, and vaccination for seasonal flu will continue through November and December, in time to provide protection against the seasonal flu.

The Cattaraugus County Health Department announced today that additional supplies of Seasonal Influenza vaccine are expected to arrive at any time. Several Clinics were provided to the public in the month of September, however, until the next shipment of vaccine arrives, the Health Department strongly encourages those who have not yet received their seasonal vaccine, to contact their own medical providers.

The Cattaraugus County Health Department will begin Seasonal Influenza Clinics on September 14, 2009 at the Little Valley and the West Valley Department of Aging’s Nutrition Sites. Vaccine is available at these clinics for clients 18 years and older. These scheduled clinics will offer Pneumococcal Vaccine as well.
