When Will H1N1 Vaccine Arrive?

The Mobile County Health Department is still waiting for the H1N1 vaccine to arrive. They hope to get it in by the end of next week. The health department says the first doses they get will go to Mobile County public school students. Once the health department gets enough vaccine in, they will then offer it to the public for free. A nasal mist vaccine will also be available through private providers. The health department says you can check with your local doctor to see if they have it in yet, "the flu mist is a live virus and it's a nasal spray and you can call your physician and see if they're going to be getting any doses this week. We don't anticipate getting any of that or much of it this week and if we do we will spread it out to the providers," said Mobile County Health Department Director of Epidemiology, Melissa Tucker. If you plan to get the H1N1 Vaccine shot for you or your child, the health department says children 9 and younger will require 2 shots given 21 days apart, those 10 and older will only need one shot.
