Flu Shot Information

In our effort to keep our patients informed, we have been notified by The New York State Department of Health that there is a shortage in flu vaccine throughout New York City and New York State. Having held over 50 flu clinics since the beginning of September, we must place a temporary hold on flu shot distribution program. Once we receive a new shipment, we will post the revised distribution schedule here.

Please visit: http://www.montefiore.org/mmgflushot regularly for updated information.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Thank you for your patience.
