Seasonal Influenza (Flu)
Flu Vaccine Information Statements

Flu vaccine for the 2012-13 influenza season has begun shipping from manufacturers. Shipments will continue throughout the fall. Everyone 6 months of age and older should get a yearly vaccine. Right now, there is very little seasonal flu activity. Flu season usually begins in October and can last through May. Get vaccinated before flu season starts.

It's available here - everywhere! I have seen signs at CVS and Target, and the doctors all have good supply. They are saying to get it before October. I wonder why it's different there.
