H1NI PUBLIC CLINICS
If you are a person over the age of 64 you are NOT in a priority group unless you are a health care worker or care for an infant under the age of 6 months. Persons over the age of 64 show some immunity to H1N1 and therefore will not be among the first people vaccinated. As vaccines become more available restrictions will be lifted. Please call this hotline periodically for updates.
As of October 6, 2009*, the priority groups consist of the following:
- Pregnant women
- People who live with or care for children younger than 6 mo of age
- Health care (direct patient care), First Responder & Emergency Medical Services Personnel
- Persons between the ages of 6 mo – 24 yrs of age
- People from ages 25-64 yrs who are at risk for novel H1N1 because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems
