The Pediatric Flu Shot Clinic for children ages 6 months to 18 years is also $25 at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital on October 12th and November 9th with registration. The pneumonia shots are $35.

You can also direct readers to the County’s website at http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/h1n1flu. On that website, readers can find information about seasonal flu vaccination clinics and once more information is available about H1N1 vaccine, we will post information there.
Good story in the Gazette this week about Shady Grove Adventist’s work with the FDA on the flu. My family has enjoyed their Health events for years. Nice to see them taking a lead role in this.http://www.gazette.net/stories/09232009/wheanew204028_32526.shtml
