College of Pharmacy and Hannaford Supermarkets partner with the Maine Veterans Affaiars Healthcare System for flu shots for spouses of veterans

UNE's College of Pharmacy and Hannaford Supermarkets have partnered with the Maine Veterans Affairs Healthcare System to offer influenza vaccinations for spouses of veterans.  The VA system already provides flu shots for veterans, but does not have the staff or vaccine supply to offer this service to spouses.  UNE faculty and more than 20 students have volunteered to administer the vaccine.  Maine has more veterans per capita than any other state in the nation.
