Because either we’ve been away, or our family doctor has been away, we managed to miss her flu shot clinic, and now she has exhausted her supply of the vaccine.

Looking for alternative sources, I phoned the Office of the Chief Health Officer. I had to leave a message because there was nobody in the office when I called. An hour later, Dr. Lamont Sweet himself phoned me and gave me the information I needed. Prince Edward Island is very small.

There is a flu vaccine clinic in the basement of the Polyclinic in Charlottetown on Wednesday, December 1, 2004 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and again from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
