Flu Season '10: What You Need to Know.
H1N1 Influenza Vaccine
Spencer County Health Department is located at 88 Spears Dr. in Taylorsville.
The vaccine will be available to eligible population by appointment. The clinic will follow the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations and administer vaccine to the following target groups:
- Pregnant women
- Household contacts and caregivers for children younger than 6 months of age
- Health care and emergency medical services personnel
- All children and young adults age 6 months through 24 years, especially those with chronic conditions
- People age 25-64 years of age with chronic health conditions
People over the age of 65 appear to be at lower risk of catching the swine flu, and should receive the vaccine once those in the target groups have received it. All children must be accompanied by parent or legal guardian. The health department will make the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine available to the priority groups in an ongoing basis.
If you did not get your shot during our December allocation, you should ask your healthcare provider for the vaccine, or come back during the next scheduled flu-shot clinic.
