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.
