O'Hare flu shots?

Does anybody know if it's possible to get a flu shot at O'Hare this month? And if so, where? The U.Illinois medical site doesn't say anything.

Some years ago, I was changing planes in O'Hare in October and stumbled across a medical desk giving (well, $20, I think) flu shots, which was very handy. As I will be changing planes in Chicago again in a week, and will not have had time to get a flu shot, it would certainly be a convenience. (I mean for this year's 'regular' flu, not H1N1).

Yes, I saw them offered in one of the United concourses at O'Hare when I was there not quite two weeks ago. Apparently, they are being offered in every terminal at ORD (and other airports). Here's the info on when and where:

FYI, as of last week they were not offering H1N1 flu shots yet, those are expected in Mid/Late October.

Did they say they were going to offer it though? This is rather convenient if I can just show up at the airport an hour early one week.

I had arrived early to ORD so I did ask if H1N1 was being offered. They stated that if they get doses of the H1N1 flu shot that it would be offered later in Oct.

I just called the ORD facility per l'etoile's post and asked if they had H1N1, they do not at this time and do not know when they will get any. If they do get H1N1 flu shots they will offer.

I was hoping they did have as I'm traveling later this week.

Alas, by mid- October, they were out of supplies of both flu varieties.
