Maxim Health Systems Cancels Flu Shot Clinics After November 6 at Retail Locations
Posted on: Friday, 4 November 2005, 12:00 CST
Maxim Health Systems today announced that it will cancel all flu vaccine clinics scheduled for retail locations after November 6, 2005. This represents only 10 percent of all scheduled clinics.
"We know the demand for vaccination is higher this year and currently there is simply not enough vaccine available to continue our retail programs," said Steve Wright, National Director Wellness Services for Maxim Health Systems. "We understand the frustration that some have experienced in trying to get vaccinated against the flu this year. Here at Maxim we certainly share that frustration and would prefer to keep all clinics open and help people get vaccinated, but this is not possible at this time. We feel very good about the fact that we will vaccinate more people this year than ever before."
Maxim had already limited vaccine to high-risk individuals as per guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) up through October 24, and then opened vaccinations to the general public. The company was very successful in identifying and vaccinating the high risk population early by holding its clinics in easily accessible, convenient places such as such as pharmacies, supermarkets, stores, assisted living facilities, senior centers, and other public venues.
Maxim's website, www.FindAFluShot.com, has been updated to reflect the cancellations and all changes between now and November 7.
