Second dose H1N1 and Seasonal flu update

Due to the shortage of supply for both the seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccines in both the injectable and mist form, our office will NOT be giving any second doses to patients who had the first dose this year. We apologize for any confusion and inconvenience, but we need to give those high risk patients who haven’t had the first dose yet the priority. Thank you for your understanding.
