Naval Hospital Bremerton reminds everyone this is flu season
Shot on ... During Naval Hospital Bremerton's Preventive Medicine annual Influenza Vaccination Shot Exercise (SHOTEX) in early November, they supplied 3,882 vaccinations for five extended days, averaging 776 people a day during that time – either by FluMist or injectable vaccine (shot). NHB's Immunization Clinic has also handled an additional 2,200 from mid-Nov to mid-January.
