Any Placer County resident may receive the free H1N1 Vaccination including children who need their second (booster) dose of vaccine.

All residents are encouraged to be vaccinated against H1N1 flu, and those in the “target groups” for this vaccine are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated. The target groups, as identified by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, include:

·         Pregnant women;

·         People who live with or care for infants younger than 6 months of age;

·         Health care and emergency medical personnel;

·         Anyone from 6 months through 24 years of age;

·         Anyone from 25 through 64 years of age with certain chronic medical conditions or a weakened immune system.

Some physicians in the community are now receiving additional vaccine in both nasal and injectable formulations, so individuals may wish to contact their healthcare provider to see if they have vaccine available.
