Samuel Frederick deBary, born in Germany in 1815 came to New York City in the 1850s where he started an importing business for Mumm's champagne and other fine French wines.

DeBary Inquiry:
| Q. | where will be the next flu shot given in the DeBary area? Thank you for your help and I enjoyed the website. I am a new resident and first time user of the website. Ellen | | A. | There are no Volusia County listed events in DeBary for the next few weeks. You may want to contact the DeLand Immunization Department, 1330 S. Woodland Blvd in DeLand, 386.822.6215. The DeLand office is open each afternoon and on Friday morning and afternoon. The Deltona Health Center, 1555 Saxon Blvd in Deltona, 386.575.0373 is also an option. The Deltona office is only open on Friday.
| | Q. | Will there be free flu shots for the general public offered in Volusia co., close to DeBary? | | A. | The nearest location would be the Winn Dixie at 2701 Woodland Boulevard in DeLand that will be giving flu shots between 10 AM and 2 PM on Saturday, November 5, 2005. I cannot say for certain if the shots are free. There are cases, where this might be waived, but I would anticipate paying the usual $25.00.
