2009/2010 Influenza Update


Seasonal Influenza Vaccine
 
2009/2010 Seasonal Influenza Vaccine shipments were slowed due to the manufacturers focus on H1N1 vaccine production.  Another impact on delivery is the early start to the vaccination season which historically begins in mid-October. For these reasons, we received a very limited supply of Seasonal Influenza Vaccine which was depleted very quickly.  We do not expect to receive another shipment.   We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, & we greatly appreciate your trust in Women of Wellness, PLLC as your wellness care provider.

We do have H1N1 Vaccine- Injectable.  The H1N1 Vaccine is available for $19/dose.
