Seasonal Flu Vaccine

We also continue to recommend the Seasonal Flu vaccine now for our pregnant patients.  At this time we no longer have seasonal flu vaccine in stock.  More has been ordered, but due to the uncertainty of our future supply, we are recommending you contact your primary care provider now for your seasonal flu shot, or refer to the Monroe County Health Department for a list of sites where you can obtain your vaccine.
