EMMC to Host Seasonal Flu Vaccine Clinics for Adults

Each year, thousands of people from across central, eastern, and northern Maine come down with the aches, fever and sniffles commonly referred to as the seasonal flu. Now is the time to make sure you and your loved one are protected against the seasonal flu this year.

One of the best ways to protect against the seasonal flu is by getting a seasonal flu shot annually. EMMC is offering several vaccine clinics beginning on Saturday, September 26, 2009 to ensure that any adult in the community who would like to get the seasonal flu shot have access to one conveniently and affordably.

The vaccine clinics will be held at Eastern Maine Medical Center, 489 State Street, Bangor. The cost for the seasonal flu vaccine is $25. Cash, check, and credit card will all be accepted. EMMC is also able to bill insurance.  People are asked to make payment at the time of their appointments.
