Flu Vaccine is Late in Coming

Flu vaccine for Grove physicians is late in coming, and short in quantity. Several physicians report they are just now receiving their allocation and in some cases it is a lot less than what they had requested.
Integris Grove Hospital officials said more was on the way and advised residents to be patient. "We are at the mercy of the manufacturers," one said.
In the meantime, the advice is to wash your hands at every opportunity, and carry a bottle of hand wash solution or handiwipes with you after touching areas frequented by others.
The Delaware County Health Department in Jay has been giving flu shots as an alternate source, officials said.
