johanson Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 I have always gotten my flu shots for free when I was up north during this time of the year. However this year my timing is way off and I will not be returning until immediately after Christmas. Why the change in schedule? Because of the Covid Virus and availability of vaccine shots, which I now have. QUESTION: Do the lakeside Doctors have access to an effective flu virus? And if so, what time of the year is it usually available? Thanks in advance for any information you might wish to share about the availability and timing of flu vaccine shots lakeside.

The shots sold by private doctors' offices are quadrivalent', it has 4 strains and is known as the High Dose Flu Vaccine. The quadrivalent is recommended for people over 65 years of age.

gringal Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 I just called the number and added our names to the list for flu shots. The person said that they would probably be getting them after the first of next month, and didn't have the price as yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
