UHC flu clinic covered by TV news

WGME 13 TV news covered University Health Care's free flu clinic in Portland on Jan. 30, 2010. The news report noted that more than 50 people showed up for the Portland Clinic in the first hour. Christopher Pezzullo, D.O., UHC medical director, told the reporter that it was important for everyone to get vaccinated for the seasonal flu and H1N1 because the heaviest seasonal flu season in Maine is February and March and because H1N1 virus isn't predictable and could pick up again. The free clinic was also offered in Saco.
