I am delighted to announce that we have Zostavax.This is one of the most

exciting new vaccines for adults. The vaccine was approved several years ago

but Merck has been unable to produce enough vacccine to supple both the pediatric

and adult markets. Within the past year 2 exciting develop ments have occurred:

1.The age range for the vaccine has been extended to ages 50 and above down from

60.

2.The vaccine availability problem has been apparently solved.Please call the Center

and arrange to have us vaccinate you if you are above age 50 and meet the other

eligibility criteria.The vaccine is the same as the one given to all children but is

more concentrated.It is very well tolerated and offers excellent protection.

Please call us at 601-936-0706 to schedule. Dr. Smith
