H1N1 Information for the week of Nov. 16
The Lake County Public Health and CSKT Tribal Health Departments continue to receive H1N1 vaccine on a weekly basis. Enough vaccine was shipped to hold two community clinics this week. The Health Departments will continue weekly clinics throughout the valley as vaccine availability allows.
• The following listed populations are eligible for this week’s clinics:
o Pregnant women
o Children 6 months – 18 years of age
o Caregivers to children under 6 months of age (i.e., parents, siblings, and daycare providers)
o Adults currently receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or are HIV+
*If you do not fall into one of the above populations, you will be turned away at this time. We ask that you be patient as we presently only have a limited supply. Once the county and tribe have adequate amount of vaccine, availability will open up to a broader population.
• This week’s clinics are located at:
o Polson High School Gym
• Wednesday, November 18th
• 4-7 PM
o Elmo Pink Hall
• Thursday, November 19th
• 3-6 PM
• The H1N1 vaccine is free of charge county wide.
• You MUST be a Lake County/Flathead Indian Reservation resident to attend.
• There will no community clinics the week of Thanksgiving; November 23rd-27th.
