Flu Clinics

Do you need more than one vaccine this year?

The 2009 novel H1N1 virus (also known as swine or pandemic influenza) spreading throughout the world is NOT included in the 2009-10 seasonal flu vaccine.  There is a separate vaccine for the H1N1 virus.  Many people will need to get a seasonal flu vaccine AND the H1N1 vaccine. Children under 10 years will need 2 doses of H1N1 vaccine (1 month apart).

Who can get vaccinated?

• Seasonal flu shots are available for anyone aged 6 months and older. 
• H1N1 vaccine is now available for anyone aged 6 months and older.

More information on the H1N1 vaccine is available on the CDC website.
