Those eligible may obtain this vaccine free of charge without an
appointment during the clinic hours.
"Certain people are at higher risk of complications due to the
novel H1N1 flu, and others work with populations at risk of
complications, and we continue to ask you to allow these people to
receive their novel H1N1 flu vaccine first," said Mark Hilliard,
administrator of the health department.

"As more vaccine becomes available, we will expand the eligibility
and anticipate we will be able to vaccinate everyone who wants to
be," Hilliard said.
To stay healthy and limit the spread of flu, remember the three
"C's":
-
CLEAN -- Wash your
hands often.
-
COVER -- Cover
your cough and sneeze.
-
CONTAIN -- Contain your germs. Stay
home if you are sick.
