FARMINGTON — The Healthy Community Coalition is offering influenza vaccines to people 18 and older at work sites, community locations and the coalition office, one-quarter mile west of Franklin Memorial Hospital on Route 2.
The vaccine appears to be a good match to three strains this year, and it is not too late to get vaccinated, according to the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Vaccination is the best way to prevent influenza and it may have some cross-protection against the drifted influenza H3 viruses.
Most insurance companies cover the cost of receiving the shot and the coalition is able to bill several insurances. For individuals not covered by insurance, there is a suggested donation of $20 or whatever you can afford.
The Healthy Community Coalition buys the vaccine and appreciates donations to help cover costs for those in need.
For more information or to schedule a vaccination time for yourself or your organization, contact the Healthy Community Coalition at 779-2750. Walk-ins are welcome, but please call ahead to ensure that a nurse will be available.
