AUGUSTA – According to the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, H1N1 vaccine has begun arriving in the state, but there is a very limited supply of H1N1 vaccine.

Over the next several weeks, as more vaccine becomes available, more clinics will be open to the general public. Seasonal flu shot clinic schedule can be found here.
Third-party insurance will be charged, no cash from patients accepted. Does this mean no insurance then no shot?
