— from Madie Murray —
The Orcas Medical Center is now scheduling flu shots for October 4 and 11.
For adults, flu shots will be administered by appointment beginning at 8:30 a.m. on the 4th and 11th by calling the Center at 376-2561. Or, if preferred, they may be scheduled as part of a regular OMC office visit.
Children’s flu shots are by nurse appointment only and will not be given during the adult clinic dates mentioned above. State-supplied (free) flu vaccine is available for children 6 months to 18 years old. Children under 9 years of age may need a second dose.
The Medical Center is located on Deye Lane, off Mt. Baker Road next to Orcas Center.
