The Daviess County Health Department will continue to offer the H1N1 flu vaccine every Tuesday from 8AM to 4PM according to availablility. Watch the ad pages and listen to the radio for other clinic days offered. We are striving to vaccinate those in the high risk categories in our county. Those would include children 6 months to 18 years old, people who care for children under 6 months of age, EMS and health care workers and 19 to 64 year olds with chronic health conditions. Those people ages 2-49 that are healthy in these categories are eligible to recieve the flu mist. Supplies for all H1N1 vaccine is limited but CDC states vaccine will start increasing and when this happens we will broaden our target groups.
Please keep in mind that everyday prevention is the best practice. Cover your cough and sneezes, frequently wash your hands, and stay home when sick. Call the health department for any questions.
