Currently the health department is
offering the novel H1N1 vaccine to the following priority group
only. The priority group consists of:
-
Pregnant women.
-
People who live
with or care for children younger than 6 months of age.
-
Health care and
emergency medical services personnel with direct patient
contact.
-
Children 6 months through 24 years of
age.
Those eligible may obtain this vaccine free of charge without an
appointment during the clinic hours. As more vaccine becomes
available, the health department will expand the eligibility and
anticipates being able to vaccinate everyone who wants to be
vaccinated.
