Mollen Immunization Clinics Serves Up US Record for Single Event Flu Vaccination Deployment for H1N1

SCOTTSDALE, AZ, Oct 29, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
RAD | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- With just 36 hours notice from the Maricopa County Department of
Public Health, Mollen Immunization Clinics administered over 14,000
vaccinations to high-risk groups throughout the county, one of the
nation's largest with a population of four million residents. In the
process, Mollen set the US record for the most flu vaccinations
administered in a single event. Even so, it's likely that Mollen will
break their own record in the coming weeks.

Mollen Immunization Clinics routinely vaccinates as many as 50,000
people per day nationally with the seasonal flu vaccine through its
various partners including Walmart, CVS/pharmacy, Albertsons, Rite
Aid, Bashas', Fry's Food & Drug (Kroger) and other retailers,
corporations and associations.

Using 20 years of expertise deploying mobile clinics staffed with
trained nurses, Mollen Immunization Clinics manages as many as 1,000
clinics each day through the peak of each year's flu season. Maricopa
County Public Health Department entrusted Mollen to deploy the first
wave of H1N1 vaccinations to those most in need -- pregnant women,
children six months to four years old, children five to eighteen with
one or more underlying, chronic conditions, and the immediate
caregivers of infants under six months old.

As a result of this trust, and with the help of Phoenix and other
Maricopa media outlets, Mollen was able to quickly deploy H1N1
vaccinations throughout the greater Phoenix area to the most
vulnerable residents. At the same time, Mollen continued operating
its national flu shot immunization program, providing seasonal flu
vaccinations to all residents seeking seasonal flu shots.

Mollen's CEO, John Roehm, commented, "Our team is a disciplined group
of professionals with expertise in every aspect of mobile clinic
deployment. When Maricopa County Public Health Department called on us
to step up, we only needed 36 hours to deploy an initial clinic
serving seasonal flu and H1N1 side-by-side, and followed that with 37
more clinics the next day spread throughout the county."

Even so, Mr. Roehm and Mollen Immunization Clinics are looking ahead
to next week when they begin H1N1 vaccinations in Maricopa County's
various school districts. "We expect to increase the number of
children we vaccinate considerably in the coming weeks as we deploy
our 'Zap the Flu' program in schools. The program is supported by our
online system for parental consent and in-school vaccinations
throughout the County." The system supporting school districts'
parental consent can be found at Mollen's web site at
www.FluShotsUSA.com.

Mollen is in talks with school districts throughout the US about
deploying H1N1 vaccines to schoolchildren. They've seen Mollen's
retail clinics for seasonal flu in their markets and learned of its
broad clinic deployment capabilities through contacts with federal
and other authorities. Through these authorities, Mollen has been
identified as one of the few trusted, capable providers for mass
vaccination deployment.
