The 2011-2012 flu vaccine, which is good for one year, will protect against three influenza viruses that research indicates will be the most common during the flu season. For community members who have not yet received a seasonal flu vaccination, the SSM Urgent Care clinic may be one of the last opportunities to get a free vaccination.
Information about the seasonal flu, the vaccine and the clinic can be found at ssmhealth.com/flu. For additional questions, call 1-866-SSM-DOCS (776-3627).
