Wild Oats hosts flu-vaccine clinics

October 16, 2005

In preparation for the flu season, Wild Oats Natural Marketplace

will host flu vaccination clinics in its Santa Fe store, 1090 St.

Francis Drive, during October.

Medical staff from Professional Flu Clinics will be on hand to

administer flu vaccinations for $25 per person.

Wild Oats will be offering a more natural, preservative-free flu

vaccine (primary ingredients do not include Thimerosal) to adults 18

and over.

The dates are: Oct. 7, 14, 21 from 8 a.m. to noon; Oct. 8, 9, 15,

16, 22 and 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The flu clinics are administered by an approved Medicare provider,

so qualified people should bring their Medicare ID.

Vaccination recipients will receive insurance reimbursement

receipts. For more information about the clinics, call 983-5333.

Homeopaths offer flu inoculations

High Desert Homeopathy is offering a free oral flu inoculation as an

alternative to an injected vaccine. Homeopathic practitioners Debra

Owens and Lawson say the oral dose poses less risk of side

effects to most patients as it has no chemicals and is taken with

only water.

Owens especially recommends the homeopathic dose for infants and

young children and others whose immune system might not be fully

developed.

For details or to make an appointment call 982-5685.
