2009 Seasonal Flu and H1N1 Flu (last updated 11/16/09)
We still do not currently have any seasonal flu vaccine available here at our office, but will provide any updates as soon as they become available.
For more information, and for continuous updates from Brigham and Women's Hospital about both seasonal flu and H1N1 flu, please call BWH's Flu Hotline: 1-800-906-4048.
We do now have H1N1 vaccine available for high-risk patients of Brigham and Women's Physician Group (850 Boylston Street, Suite 530), and will be holding three walk-in H1N1 vaccine clinics in the coming weeks. Due to the limited supply of the vaccine available, you will be asked at the walk-in clinic to sign a form confirming your age and risk factors before you can be immunized. If you do not fall into one of these categories, please respect that we cannot vaccinate you at this time.
We do expect additional supply of the H1N1 vaccine to become available in the coming weeks, and we will provide another update at that time on this site, on our phone menu, and via our online patient portal- Patient Gateway (www.patientgateway.org).
Please see below for both the clinic dates and the criteria for being eligible to receive the vaccine.
