Canadian Flu Vaccination Resources for Rochester Residents

Last updated 10/04/2009 11:39:35 AM

The following information is useful only to residents of Upstate New York.  If you live outside the Upstate New York area, try using Google News and the keywords flu, American, the state in which you live or the nearest Canadian province.  I was able to find flu stories and vaccine resources for Vancouver, Idaho, Manitoba, and Ontario using this method.

Links

• Centers for Disease Control pamphlet on influenza vaccination. 
• College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.  Physician search tool.  This link was provided as part of the exchange in the following email:  "Hi Max. I understand that some doctors in border communities are willing to provide Americans with flu shots if you make an appointment in advance. You can search for doctors names and phone numbers at this url: http://www.cpso.on.ca/Doctor_Search/ez_srch.asp?Scr=FIRST. I'm not sure what they are charging, although I did read one story recently that mentioned $50. I hope you have success!"
