We have a limited amount of canine influenza vaccines in stock. The manufacturer is slowly starting to fill back orders and we will run out several more times before the inventory shortage is completely fixed. If your boarding facility requires the influenza vaccine and you are an established client, please call to schedule a booster. If your puppy has never had the vaccine but you are not boarding them, please give the manufacturer and us a few more months to get the inventory restocked before scheduling a booster vaccine appointment.
