LACONIA CLINIC SCHEDULES SEASONAL FLU CLINICS

LACONIA, NH– The flu is getting a lot of attention this year. With the emergence of the H1N1 strain, people are thinking about the flu, and how to best protect themselves. While the H1N1 vaccine is not yet available, experts agree that one of the best things you can do to protect yourself and your family is to start by getting a seasonal flu shot.

The Laconia Clinic has scheduled Seasonal Flu Vaccine Clinics for adult and pediatric Clinic Patients only. Those will be held on the following dates:

Main Facility, 724 Main St., Laconia

Tilton Office, 630 West Main St., Tilton

Flu shots cost $50 at Laconia Clinic. Patients who choose to pay at the time of service can access a 20 percent discount through our Patient Advantage Program, so the cost will be just $40. Many insurance plans will cover a flu shot.
