"As clinicians, and in cardiology practices, it would be great if we can all provide the opportunity to be vaccinated in our own clinics, because when a patient is already there and there's not availability of their flu shot in clinic, it's a missed opportunity, and the patient needs to find that vaccine elsewhere. So the best thing we can tell patients is to find out where they can get their flu shot most easily and plan ahead to get their flu shot. But as providers, the best thing we can do is to provide the opportunities for getting flu shots in clinic, and if we can't, to be able to talk to or educate our patients and refer them to where they can get their flu shots."
