SOMERS POINT - Shore Physicians Group is making it easier than ever for the community to get their flu shots with two convenient vaccination clinics 8 a.m. to noon Saturdays, Sep. 14 and Oct. 12, at the SPG Surgical Division, 649 Shore Road.
The flu shot clinics are open to anyone age 18 and older. In addition to the clinics, flu shots are available at all Shore Physicians Group Primary Care offices in Margate, Marmora, Mays Landing, Northfield, Ocean City, and Somers Point.
Appointments are available by calling 609-365-6200. Walk-ins will also be accepted.
The CDC recommends an annual flu shot for everyone aged 6 months and older as the most effective way to prevent seasonal influenza and its complications. This is particularly crucial for high-risk groups, including young children, pregnant women, seniors, and those with chronic health conditions. The CDC advises getting vaccinated by the end of October to ensure maximum protection during the peak flu season.
The flu vaccine not only reduces the risk of flu illness, hospitalization, and death but also helps in curbing the spread of the virus within the community. Learn more about the CDC’s influenza guidelines at https://www.cdc.gov/flu/.
