Flu vaccines are needed annually, primarily for two reasons.

Second, the vaccine itself wears off and your immune system’s response to the flu virus decreases over time. Unless you receive the vaccine every year, you will lack necessary immunity.

I gave the Flemington Doctor Is In 5 stars to be read. However, if I could have given them negative 5 stars, I would. When I visited them last winter, I was sick as a dog and had my formal negative Covid test results with me. Standing in front of the door, I called the number on door and got NO answer while looking at the person at the reception desk who ignore both my waving and the phone ringing. Next, I knocked on the door pointing to my phone. Finally, she answered my call and told me I need to let them Covid test me onsite, and only for CASH $70.+ I believe. Next, I called the Clinton office to see if this was a company-wide policy. The Clinton Doctor Is In was very helpful and deserves 5 stars. That office did not require that they perform their own Covid test for me to be seen. The Flemington branch my opinion Covid SCAM. Steer clear. Read comments from the many other one star ratings which describe equally frustrating experiences with this Flemington Doctor Is In such as, David R. 8/11 "This isn't medical care. In fact, it's the opposite. Dr. Klein put profits over his long-time patient's safety. We'll never forgive him for this cruel act. We're just grateful that we found an outstanding new doctor." I expect each "The Doctor Is In" has its own policies and rules. The above negative comments only apply to the Flemington Doctor Is In. FLEMINGTON 08822 Another 1 star customer (when sick)-I would not waste your time going here. I got a rapid covid test done and not once did anyone tell me i had to pay an office visit as well. The doctors office charged my card without my knowledge and told me they were calling as a courtesy to let me know they had to and i told them not to and i did NOT give my permission but they charged it...
