Maine is going to offer free flu shots to all Maine residents. The Maine Immunization Program has flu shots and the nasal spray that were to be used for kids, the uninsured and certain other higher risk groups. But I was reading in the Sun Journal that Maine has enough on hand at the moment they can let it be used by all Mainers for free. If not, it will just go to waste.
Erin & Jessica from Walgreens joined us on the Moose Morning Show to give Jon and myself flu shots.
You can get yours at any Walgreens or have them come by your office.
This season's flu is worse than in past years, in part because we have not seen this flu strain in a while and we don't have immunity. Maine state health officials believe it could get worse before it gets better.
I was just reading that the first cases of the flu in Maine are getting reported. Whereever you look, pharmacies, grocery stores, department stores and alike are offering flu shots. Have you gotten one or are you planning on it?
