Despite a significant decline in the incidence of H1N1 flu, the Fremont County Public Health Department continues to offer weekly H1N1 clinics for persons who still have not had the opportunity to get a vaccination.
Public Health Director Becki Vettese reported to the County Board of Health (Board of Commissioners) at last week's monthly meeting that her department has administered 4,247 H1N1 vaccinations. Vettese said the H1N1 flu vaccinations clinics will continue at her office at 172 Justice Center Road every Tuesday afternoon from 1:30 until 4:30, but persons wanting a vaccination must call ahead to make an appointment. The number to call for an appointment is 275-1626. The H1N1 vaccinations are free of charge.
Vettese said her office will continue to take appointments for the H1N1 vaccinations on Tuesdays as long as they continue to have the vaccine available. The Public Health Office has now received more than 8,000 doses of the vaccine. She says close to 4,000 of those doses have been distributed to local physicians and other vendors who administer the vaccine.
Vettese said nurses in her department have also administered over 1,100 doses of seasonal flu vaccine.
