H1N1 Vaccines Now Available for the General Public
Effective Monday, December 7th, 2009, the Green River District Health Dept. will be offering the H1N1 vaccine to the general public. What this means is that anyone who wants the H1N1 vaccine will now be able to receive it, even if they are not in the initial CDC target group.
If you want to get your H1N1 vaccination and have not already done so, please contact your local health department for details on upcoming clinic dates and appointment scheduling. All seven counties within the Green River District are participating. Although research has shown that those who are most vulnerable to H1N1 are pregnant women, children, and those with underlying health conditions that would put them at higher risk, there have been significant numbers of people who have been affected who are not in these groups. This is why it is important to get vaccinated.
Vaccinations are our number one line of defense against H1N1, so please take advantage of this opportunity to protect yourself, and those around you that you love, throughout this holiday season. What a better Christmas present than to know that you are protecting those that you love! Even though the level of H1N1 seems to be declining and the peak is over, we are anticipating another wave of activity.
Public Health encourages you to continue to be vigilant in your efforts to stay healthy by washing your hands, staying home when ill, and covering your cough, as seasonal flu will begin circulating soon.
Please remember that the vaccine is available to you free of charge!
For any questions, please contact your local health department.
