More H1N1 vaccine arriving, more opportunities to get immunized
December 17, 2009 · 11:16 AM
It’s not too late to get an H1N1 flu vaccination. H1N1 flu, also called swine flu, is expected to continue to spread, and H1N1 vaccination will protect you and your family so you won’t miss days of school, work or other important events due to this flu.
Anyone over 6 months of age is now eligible to receive H1N1 vaccine in King County. It's especially important for people who are at highest risk for H1N1 influenza, including pregnant women, babies and young children, and people with chronic health conditions or weakened immune systems. H1N1 vaccine is being distributed to many health care providers and local pharmacies.
Call your health care provider or check pharmacy locations at www.kingcounty.gov/health/H1N1.
