Carle Clinic cancels more flu shot dates

URBANA – The limited supply of seasonal flu vaccine has forced Carle Clinic to cancel more flu shot clinics.

Canceled are clinics scheduled for Tuesday and Nov. 5 in Monticello and Oct. 24 in Mahomet.

Flu shot clinics scheduled for Carle Clinic on Windsor Road in Urbana will take place Monday through Oct. 24, but will offer only FluMist nasal spray vaccine as long as supplies last.

FluMist can be taken only by healthy people ages 2-49.

Carle Clinic will continue administering seasonal flu vaccine in doctors' offices and says it will evaluate the ability to hold future walk-in flu shot clinics on a weekly basis.

Demand has been high for seasonal flu vaccine, and Carle Clinic is still waiting to receive part of its vaccine shipment.

For updates, call 326-5000, or visit the Web site at www.carle-clinic.com.
