SATURDAY NOVEL H1N1 ("SWINE") FLU VACCINE CLINIC OF 2009 WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE @ THIS OFFICE, AS IT HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED THAT ALL KING COUNTY WILL HAVE DISTRIBUTION OF VACCINE TO ALL PERSONS OVER AGE 6 MONTHS WHO DESIRE VACCINES AS OF DECEMBER 12, 2009.

BY APPOINTMENT DURING THE WEEK, WE WILL CONTINUE TO ADMINISTER SECOND DOSES OF H1N1 VACCINE TO CHILDREN UNDER 10 YEARS.  WE HAVE A VERY LIMITED SUPPLY OF H1N1 VACCINE FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN WHO WILL BE RECEIVING THEIR FIRST DOSE OF H1N1... THE BIGGEST PROBLEM FOR THOSE WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT YET IS INSUFFICIENT TIME OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS TO ACCOMMODATE PATIENTS WHO ARE SICK, INJURED, OR NEED VARIOUS EVALUATIONS, AS IS USUAL DURING THE WINTER MONTHS.  GETTING THE H1N1 VACCINE THROUGH YOUR LOCAL PHARMACY THIS DECEMBER WILL LIKELY BE EASIER THAN DELAYING TO JANUARY WHEN WE MIGHT HAVE MORE APPOINTMENTS.
