The Long Beach Health Department will provide H1N1 flu vaccine for at-risk residents at a community clinic scheduled for Saturday at Millikan High School.
The clinic, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., has limited on-site parking, but spaces are available at St Joseph's School at 6220 E. Willow. Shuttle service will be provided.
Due to ongoing national supply challenges, the H1N1 flu vaccine will continue to be provided only if persons are in one of the following categories:
--All individuals between the age of 6 months and 24 years of age
--Caretakers of infants under 6 months of age
--Health care workers with direct patient care
--Pregnant women
--Adults from 25 to 64 year of age with a high-risk medical condition (such as lung disease, diabetes, etc).
Once the manufacturers are able to provide ample H1N1 flu vaccine supplies, the profile of individuals who may be able to receive the vaccine will be expanded.
