H1N1 Vaccination Blitz Locations Announced
A statewide
"Vaccination Blitz" is scheduled this Saturday, November 7, as Oklahoma's
county health departments work to vaccinate as many Oklahomans against H1N1 flu
as time and vaccine supplies allow. Twenty-seven locations across the state
will offer the H1N1 influenza vaccine to people who are in one of five priority
groups.
"The H1N1 pandemic
continues to be widespread in Oklahoma and otherwise healthy individuals are
becoming ill and, in some cases, being hospitalized," said State Epidemiologist
Dr. Kristy Bradley. "While we don't have as much vaccine as we want, what we do
have will be available this Saturday to Oklahomans in the priority groups.
School age children and pregnant women have been especially vulnerable to this
influenza virus, so we continue to encourage vaccination of persons who fall
into these categories."
Priority groups for
the H1N1 vaccine include:
- All
children ages 6 months to 18 years
- Pregnant
women
- Custodial
parents of infants less than 6 months of age
- Front-line
health care workers who have direct patient contact with acutely ill persons
- Adults
19-64 years of age with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma and
other chronic lung disease, chronic heart disease, cancer, and other conditions
that suppress the immune system.
People seeking
vaccinations will be screened to ensure that they meet a priority group
definition for H1N1 vaccine and to verify Oklahoma residency. People not
included in one of the priority groups or who are unable to attend a Saturday
clinic are encouraged to be patient, as new vaccine shipments arrive in
Oklahoma each week. The doses offered include both nasal spray and
injectable vaccines.
For up-to-date
information about Vaccination Blitz locations, call your local county health
department or visit www.health.ok.gov, or call the Oklahoma State Department of Health
toll-free H1N1 hotline at: 1-866-278-7134.
Phones are answered Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm.
