Seasonal flu vaccine tool available

The HealthMap Vaccine Finder, a Web-based flu vaccine locator which helps physicians post their flu vaccine services, has been redesigned and is now available online.

The portal, offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, allows physicians to enter information on their vaccine services into the online database that can be accessed to by the public.

Although the website can be updated at any time, physicians are encouraged to submit their information by Aug. 22, before the public launch of the website on Aug. 27. The website will play a significant role in helping patients access clinicians committed to improving the public health of their communities.

More information is available online.
