Urges contacting local
pharmacies to find out where you can get the seasonal
flu vaccine
State Senator Kevin Witkos said today that due to a
shortage in the seasonal flu vaccine, the Farmington
Valley Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) along with
a number of area health districts have cancelled scheduled
vaccination clinics. According to Sen. Witkos, the Farmington
Valley VNA received only 1590 of the 4300 vaccines they
ordered resulting in the shortage. Because of this Sen.
Witkos is encouraging that anyone who was planning on
visiting one of these clinics to contact their local
pharmacies or their physician. CVS and other pharmacies
around the state have received the vaccine and have
been distributing it.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact
