Time to check on availability of flu shots.

Flublok is approved in Mexico for adults 18 years and older.

"Mexico is the first country outside the United States to launch Flublok and make this modern vaccine available to its people," remarked Manon Cox, President and CEO of Protein Sciences.  She added, "We are very pleased with Liomont's choice of Pfizer as a marketing partner, as Pfizer's pneumococcal vaccine (Prevnar) is a nice complement to Flublok, and we anticipate the fall vaccination campaign will be successful."
