(Brighton, CO – October 7, 2009) — Platte Valley Medical Center announced today that it has canceled its public walk-in seasonal flu clinics due to an increase in demand and a shortage of supply.
“In our first three clinics, we had twice the number of people wanting a vaccine compared to our 2008 clinic numbers,” says PVMC’s Community Outreach Director Peggy Jarrett. “This increase in demand, coupled with a supply shortage from our vendor, necessitates the cancellation of our walk-in clinics.”
If additional vaccines become available, new clinics will be announced via the hospital’s website: www.pvmc.org, blog: www.pvmc.org/blog, and flu line: 303-498-3595.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has set up a phone line to handle calls related to this year’s 2009-2010 Influenza Season.
