Flu Shots Available for Community

Molokai Health Systems News Release

Several flu shot clinics are being set up around the island during the month of September, for residents to receive the 2010-11 seasonal and H1N1 vaccine.

This project is a collaborative effort between Dr. Daniel McGuire, Molokai Community Health Center, Molokai Drugs Inc., Molokai Family Health Center, Molokai General Hospital and Na Pu`uwai, to provide a community service to enhance the health of Molokai residents. The shots are administered by Certified Healthcare Professionals, while supplies last.

There is no co-pay for the vaccine, and a health plan membership card is required if you are insured. You must be 18 years or older to receive a flu shot at these locations. Bring a driver’s license or other photo ID. If you are running a fever or are allergic to eggs you are not able to receive the flu vaccination.
