The Alabama Department of Public Health is now offering the H1N1 flu vaccine to anyone who wants it. The vaccine was originally restricted to those in high risk groups.
“Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself from this potentially serious disease,” Dr. Donald Williamson, state health officer, said. “Vaccine is now available in all county health departments, and all health care providers who have requested it have been sent some portion of their orders. We have removed all restrictions, and everyone is now eligible for this safe and effective vaccine.”
Health care providers may not charge for the vaccine itself but may charge for administering the vaccine. There is no charge for the H1N1 immunization at county health departments.
Please visit adph.org or call your local county health department for clinic dates, times and locations.
