H1N1 Flu Vaccine The H1N1 flu vaccine is free of charge, and is available to any individuals interested in receiving this free vaccine. It is available in either the flu shot or FluMist form. Parents of children less than age 10 who received their first dose of H1N1 vaccine at least 28 days ago are reminded to make an appointment for their child to receive their second dose. Only children less than age 10 need a second dose.
12/15/09 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has announced a recall of a particular lot of H1N1 vaccine for children age 6 - 35 months. The vaccine being recalled is still safe and effective, so no action is necessary on the part of the public. The recalled batch (lot) was recalled because it had a less than ideal potency. Children who received this vaccine do not need to be re-vaccinated until their second dose is due 28 days after the first dose.
The health department is currently offering H1N1 vaccine at multiple locations in the county. To schedule an appointment, call the hotline at 209-8393 which is open Monday-Friday, 8:30am-4:00pm.
