Devotion School flu clinic canceled for tomorrow?
Update 9:30 am --Flu Clinic is definitely on for today according to David Greiff of Care Dynamix, which is running the clinic.Update 8:15 am November 2 --Spoke to Robert Blakey at Flu Busters who informs me the flu clinic is still on for today.

In any case I can't believe I'm the only one who isn't clear exactly what's going on. And I don't think people will be too thrilled when they turn up tomorrow and find out the clinic's been canceled.
