The Northeast Colorado Health Department has scheduled two large walk-in H1N1 vaccination clinics on Saturday. One is in Fort Morgan, at the high school The other is in Akron, at the Washington county events center. It is expected that several hundred doses will be available in each location, but officials say high-priority groups will get first dibs. Those groups are:
* Pregnant women
* Those who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age
* All healthcare and emergency medical services personnel
* Children and Young Adults from 6 months through 24 years of age
* Those aged 25 through 64 years who have health conditions associated with higher risk of medical complications from influenza
In Fort Morgan, the clinic runs from 10 to 3 at Fort Morgan High School. In Akron, the clinic is at the Washington county Events Center, also from 10 to 3. If vaccine runs out sooner in either location, that location will be shut down. Pre-registration is not needed; the shots are also free. The lines will move faster if you visit the health department web site, www.nchd.org, fill out the H1N1 consent forms to bring with you.
