The Southern Nevada Health District has scheduled two H1N1 immunization clinics to be held between 10 am and 6 pm Saturday at its main location, 625 Shadow Lane, and its Henderson public health center, 520 E. Lake Mead Parkway.
Injectable and inhaled vaccines will be available to members of the CDC-recommended priority groups most at risk for severe illness or complications.
The health district will provide immunizations to the CDC priority groups eligible to receive them at this time:
- Pregnant women
- People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age
- Health care and emergency medical services personnel with direct patient contact
- Children and young adults between the ages 6 months and 24 years old
- Children through 18 years of age who have chronic medical conditions
In order to be able to provide immunizations to members of the priority groups, injectable vaccine will only be offered to clients who cannot use the inhaled vaccine, especially pregnant women and children who have chronic medical conditions.
Individuals who are eligible to receive the inhaled vaccine will only be offered FluMist.
