We can not wait to see you, celebrate with you, and watch how the community comes together once again.

The Southport Island Association is hosting our 3rd annual Flu Shot Clinic on Thursday October 10, 2024 from 4:00p - 5:15p at the Southport Town Hall. Pharmacists from Nathan's Wellness Pharmacy & Apothecary will administer the flu vaccinations. ALL ARE WELCOME. Please bring your medical insurance card with you. If you are not insured, please come anyway - SIA will help offset the fee. 

Please visit the Event on SIA's Facebook page to indicate your intention to attend the clinic - this will help ensure we have plenty of vaccine doses on hand.

You must complete two consent forms (one for Nathan's here and the other for SIA here) to receive the vaccine. Both will also be available at the clinic.

The influenza vaccine you receive is designed to protect you from the flu for the 2024-2025 season. Per CDC guidelines, you may receive a flu vaccination regardless of whether (or when) you were vaccinated against COVID-19. Please consult with your primary physician for questions about the advisability of receiving the flu vaccination given your personal medical situation.

During the clinic, we will not offer COVID-19 vaccinations, boosters, or RSV vaccines. The sole purpose of the clinic is to administer the influenza vaccine.

We strongly encourage your participation as a member of SIA. Your feedback matters and help to shape the mission of SIA.

This will be directly followed by a well loved favorite, Bolster Day, where friends and neighbors get to reconnect after the Winter season and catch up over appetizers and cocktails. Bring your favorite appetizer to share! A cash bar will be available on site. These proceedings will take place at the spectacular Newagen Seaside Inn this year.

Join the community in helping to light up Southport town buildings! Each year, Southport gleams with holiday lights that make these dark days more jolly! The lights have been installed professionally in the past, however due to a change in circumstances and the loss of the wonderful and loved community member who did this work -This year, there is a small group of community members working together to make sure the festive spirit and flair return to Southport once again.

Please join the effort on November 26th as the day the decor goes up! We will need to affix bows to 35 wreaths, hang said wreaths in designated windows, string lights on the buildings in reasonable places and affix some garland here and there. With enough help - we'll have this place festive in no time!

We need some volunteers with ladders and wire cutters, and others just to show up with good spirit and helping hands! I'd love to help! sign me up!

For more information about the 2023-2024 CDC Flu Vaccination Recommendations, click here: CDC Flu Vaccine Recommendations. 

Almost all medical insurance plans (including Medicare) pay for influenza vaccination. Please bring your medical insurance information to the Clinic (e.g. Medicare card, Blue Cross / Blue Shield card). The cost for those without insurance is about $30 for age 7-64 vaccine and about $50 for the high-dose "senior" (age 65+) vaccine. Cash, credit cards, and checks are accepted.

In order to receive your flu shot, you must complete/sign two separate consent forms - both of which will be available at Town Hall on the day of the Flu Shot Clinic. If you prefer to print and sign the forms before arriving, you may do so - everyone who registers for the Clinic will receive a reminder email on October 17 with both consent forms attached.

Please consult with your primary care physician if you have any questions about the advisability of receiving a flu vaccination, given your personal medical history. No other vaccinations or boosters (COVID, RSV, etc.) beyond the current Flu vaccine are currently included for this Clinic. Nathan's Wellness does have COVID and RSV vaccines available at the Pharmacy. Call Nathan's at 207-315-2280 for more information.
