Now is the time to get your flu shot if you haven’t gotten one yet.  We have plenty in stock.  The vaccination is recommended for everyone but especially for those over 50, people with chronic illnesses or people who are around people with chronic illnesses or very small children.

People over 50 should also get a pneumonia vaccine and consider getting a shingles vaccine.  Shingles is an illness that can cause severe chronic pain and the recommendations have just been changed from getting the vaccine if you are over 60 to if you are over 50.

Please call and let us know when you are coming in so we are sure we have the appropriate staff to administer the vaccinations.

Also, if you haven’t had your yearly physical and wellness visit, please call and make an appointment.
