Thompson Community Flu Clinics Continue
UR Medicine Thompson Health has scheduled a number of community flu clinics in the region, and five of them are still coming up.
Administered to those 9 and older at these clinics, the standard 2024-2025 vaccine provides protection against three flu virus strains. There also is a high-dose flu vaccine for those 65 and older. This contains additional antigen designed to create a stronger immune response for the recipient.
The schedule of remaining clinics is as follows:
Canandaigua Urgent Care, 699 S. Main St., Tuesday, Oct. 15, 3-7 p.m.
Farmington Urgent Care, 1160 Corporate Drive, Wednesday, Oct. 16, 3-7 p.m.
Bloomfield Veterans Park, 6910 Routes 5 & 20, Tuesday, Oct. 22, 3-6 p.m.
Naples Ambulance, 199 N. Main St., Tuesday, Oct. 29, 3-6 p.m.
The flu shots are free to patients with insurance (patients must present an insurance card at the time of the visit). The self-pay cost for those without insurance is $45, and $80 for the high-dose vaccine (cash, check, MasterCard, or Visa). Visit
or call 585-924-1510 for more information.

ARTICLE
Over the past 50 years, the Finger Lakes wine region in upstate New York has been most recognized for its quality production of international varieties. Historically, the region favored sparkling wines. Some of its earliest wines, produced as far back as the late 1800s, were Champagne-style sparkling wines. The Finger Lakes AVA comprises two sub-appellations that boast a cool climate and produce wines with high acid and bright fruit, notable characteristics for this style. Discover Pét-Nats from Finger Lakes wineries such as Montezuma Winery, Living Roots Wine & Co., Glenora Wine Cellars, Ria's Wines, Osmote, and Buttonwood Grove. Read More.
