As of Oct. 6, all flu shot clinics have been cancelled without further notice.
While the Oakland County Health Department officials say there is limited flu vaccine available, county Public Health Educator Jennifer Bouck says flu shots will not be given out until the county can categorize who should receive the vaccine. ‘We have a limited supply of vaccine and will be figuring out a priority based on community need,? Bouck said.
On Friday, Sherry Pozzi, Deputy Supervisor of Addison Township said the flu shot clinic scheduled for Oct. 20 at the Addison Senior Center has been cancelled indefinitely. According to the website webmd.com an Oct. 5 report states that 48 million doses of vaccine were lost due to manufacturing difficulties. Concerned residents should contact the Flu Shot Hot Line at 1-800-434-3358, to find out where they may receive the vaccine or call their personal physician for direction.
