H1N1 vaccine has arrived, but in limited supplies

Submitted by the Northeast Colorado Health Department


The first doses of H1N1 vaccine have arrived in northeast Colorado, but supplies are very limited at this time.

“We have received our first doses of H1N1 vaccine, but the amount we received was very small, and the type we received was the nasal spray vaccine which is only available to certain individuals,” said Trish McClain, director of client health services for the Northeast Colorado Health Department. “For the first few weeks our shipments of H1N1 vaccine will be less than originally anticipated, but we expect that to change as we head into November and December. As we receive vaccine every week, we divide it among each of our health department offices, as well as 33 private providers throughout our six counties that signed up to be a distributor of the vaccine. This helps us ensure that the vaccine is available through a variety of providers in multiple locations.”
