FLU VACCINE | Clinic sites
flu vaccine \ Clinic sites
The Vindicator will publish a daily listing of flu-vaccine clinic sites in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys during the seasonal-flu season and add H1N1 (swine) flu clinic sites when that vaccine becomes available. Some providers are out of vaccine and have canceled clinics. Check with your doctor on seasonal-flu vaccine availability. Providers may charge for the seasonal-flu vaccine, but the H1N1 vaccine will be provided free by the government. For information about the seasonal and H1N1 influenza viruses, people can go to the county health department’s Web site: mahoninghealth.org.
