Thompson Flu Shot Clinics Offered in Several Locations

CANANDAIGUA – UR Medicine Thompson Health will hold several public flu clinics in a number of locations over the next several weeks.

Administered to those 9 and older at these clinics, the standard 2018-2019 vaccine provides protection against four flu viruses, including H3N2 and H1N1.

This year, there is a second option – a high-dose flu vaccine – for those 65 and older. This contains additional antigen designed to create a stronger immune response in the person getting the vaccine. The high-dose vaccine protects against three flu viruses.
