Flu Vaccine

The Town of Orrington does not host vaccine clinics.  If you are in search of vaccine clinic, please call 211 and ask the Live Operator for a list of clinics in our area.

The 211 service is new and links you to a directory of services through a live operator.  More on 211 will be posted soon.

Many folks obtaining a flu vaccine ask about the pneumonia vaccine.  Most flu clinics also have pneumonia vaccine.  This is not an annual vaccination. 

The pneumonia vaccine is given to high risk individuals every 5 years until the age of 65.  One vaccination after the age of 65 is considered adequate unless advised to the contrary by a physician.

At the present time, Medicare covers vaccination against flu as well as pneumonia for subscribers.  A clinic will require you to have your membership card.
