Health departments are starting their fall tradition - free flu shot clinics.

One of the major manufacturers recently announced that 70 million doses are delayed 3-4 weeks by production problems, putting 2 new doses in this year's blend.
However, it says enough will be here in time to get vaccinated.
And though trials are underway on a long-lasting universal flu vaccine, for the time being, we all have to roll up our sleeves each autumn for a shot with this season's blend.
Here's what's on the calendar for departments around the area:
PHILADELPHIA
