Vaccination clinics announced
Citing growing stocks of the H1N1 vaccine, Los Angeles County public health officials Tuesday announced that they would make the inoculations available to those outside the highest risk groups.
“Certain retail pharmacies” should start receiving limited supplies of the swine flu vaccine at the end of the month to administer for a small fee.
A number of appointments for no-cost H1N1 vaccines will be available at an L.A. County Public Health center for residents who don’t have health insurance or regular health care, according to the county.
Residents without health insurance who were pregnant, caring for infants, emergency medical workers, children and young adults or those with chronic diseases had been given priority earlier this year when the swine flu vaccine was in short supply.
County health officials warned residents to get the vaccine, even if it appeared the second wave of swine flu had peaked.
Chief county Health Officer Jonathan Fielding said that with the flu season lasting through April, “another wave of flu is certainly possible.”
