Clatsop County Health and Human Services is hosting an H1N1 flu vaccine clinic at Camp Rilea today (Wednedsay, Dec. 16 ) from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The clinic will be held at the Simulation Center. Take the main entrance to Camp Rilea and follow the signs to the center.
The vaccine will be offered to anyone ages 6 months and over. On Friday, the Oregon Public Health Division announced that the H1N1 vaccine will no longer be reserved for priority target groups and will now be made available to the general public.
The supply is limited and the vaccine will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
While illnesses associated with the H1N1 virus have declined since a peak in late October/early November, public health officials are still recommending the public to receive the H1N1 vaccine.
For the most up-to-date information on where to get vaccinations for both the H1N1 and seasonal flu, call the county’s recorded information line at (503) 338-3600 ext. 4921 or go online to www.co.clatsop.or.us and click on “The Flu.”
