LEWISTON — A public flu shot clinic scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 28, at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center has been postponed because of a lack of seasonal flu vaccine, the hospital announced.
St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center’s supplier is currently out of the vaccine due to diverting to production of H1N1 vaccine. The supplier expects a large shipment of the seasonal flu vaccine in early November. At this time, organizers fully expect other scheduled seasonal flu shot clinics to proceed as planned. Those clinics will be held:
Nov. 6, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.: CMMC, College of Nursing and Health Professions, 70 Middle St., Lewiston
Nov. 13, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.: CMMC College of Nursing and Health Professions, 70 Middle St., Lewiston
Nov. 20 at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center, Lepage Conference Center, 99 Campus Ave., Lewiston
Dec. 5, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Auburn Mall, Center Street, Auburn
The clinics are being held in partnership with Central Maine Medical Center.
