WHO
SHOULD GET VACCINATED AGAINST H1N1 FLU?
H1N1 vaccination is now recommended for
ALL New Yorkers over 6 months of age, not just those in the
initial priority groups. This includes senior citizens age
65 and older.
AM I ELIGIBLE TO GET THE
H1N1 FLU VACCINE?
Yes. New York State is now making the vaccine
available to ALL New Yorkers. During the first phase of New
York’s statewide vaccination campaign, when supplies of vaccine
were limited, the State designated the H1N1 vaccine for priority
groups considered at highest risk of serious illness and complications
from the flu and those at risk of transmitting the flu to
vulnerable individuals. Now that there is an adequate supply
of vaccine, the State has expanded access to the vaccine to
ALL New Yorkers.
NOW IS THE TIME TO GET
VACCINATED!
The H1N1 flu season is far from over. H1N1
flu activity is still widespread in New York State. Typically,
the most flu activity occurs from January through March, and
the flu season runs until May. Getting vaccinated now will
provide protection for you against H1N1 flu for the rest of
the season this winter and spring.
THE H1N1 VACCINE IS SAFE.
The H1N1 vaccine will NOT make you sick,
but the flu WILL. Like the seasonal flu vaccine, the H1N1
vaccine has a very good safety record. Most people who receive
the H1N1 flu don’t experience any symptoms afterwards; some
feel a temporary mild soreness in the arm. The nasal spray
vaccine is also safe, effective, and easy to use.
WHERE CAN I GET THE VACCINE?
The vaccine is available from many health
care providers, community health centers, and now pharmacies.
Check www.flu.gov
to see if any vaccine
clinics are scheduled at retail outlets near you.
Check this website frequently
for information on additional scheduled clinics.
The
dates and sites of these clinics are pending and
will be announced at a later date.
SEASONAL FLU
CLINICS
Recently
we had to announce the cancellation of our remaining seasonal
flu clinics because our supply of flu vaccine had run
out and no more was expected at this time. We remind
you of other ways to protect yourself by avoiding close contact
with others who are sick. If you are sick, keep
your distance from others. If possible stay home from
work, school and errands. Cover your mouth and
nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Most importantly
wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face.
For more information you may call 315.946-5749.
