When will the rest of the population be able to get vaccinated with H1N1 vaccine?
Each county has developed plans for holding vaccination clinics throughout the county. An H1N1 Vaccine Clinic locator for the State of Florida can be found at http://www.myflusafety.com/myfluclinic.htm. CDC has provided guidance to public health officials as to which groups of people are at higher risk for contracting the H1N1 swine flu virus and should therefore be prioritized for early vaccination. As of December 4, 2009, counties are authorized to expand provision of the H1N1 flu vaccinations beyond the five priority groups based on local availability of vaccine. Counties have developed plans which allow them to expand vaccination availability to additional population groups when ready, to meet their respective population’s demands. Each county is unique in its population and this guidance will help them plan for expansion beyond the ACIP priority groups as more vaccine arrives.
