Announcement:
"Flu Vaccinations in San Miguel"
Keith writes, We went for our flu shots this afternoon, to the public clinic (CAISES) in La Lejona.
We had our paper vaccination record from last year and didn’t need to show any ID.
They only asked for our address. If anyone goes from Sci-Tech-Nature, I’d suggest taking some ID if you don’t have a shot record (different from your Covid shot record).
We waited a little while, probably were there 30 minutes total. No cost. I asked the nurse who gave us our shots about the dosage. Everyone gets the same regardless of age.

...Because the acquisition of clean water in our town is not only a science, but a necessity, especially in the San Miguel de Allende area:
SMA Rotary Club rests upon a foundation of compassion and science, so it too gets a heads up from SciTechNature.
