Are you eligible for the H1N1 vaccine?

The Brown County Health Department said it will offer free H1N1 flu vaccination clinics for the general public.

Bellin Health Family Medical Center De Pere-East will host an H1N1/seasonal flu clinic on Monday, Dec. 28 through Thursday, Dec. 31.

An e-mail, seemingly from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention requesting that recipients create an H1N1 vaccination profile, is nothing more than an elaborate phishing scam, the CDC says.

Anyone in the state who desires to have an H1N1 flu vaccination can now do so, according to state health officials.

Late last week, state experts said conversations with public and private providers and a review of the current vaccine supply, led them to the conclusion “that we are in a position to move forward to include all persons who request vaccine.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention held its regular H1N1 flu media update last week and specifically focused on one high-risk group that has been hit hard with complications from H1N1 – people with diabetes.

Adults with Underlying Health Conditions to be Added on November 19

The Department of Health Services (DHS) announced today that it is asking public health organizations and private health care providers to spend the next week aggressively targeting a subset of individuals most-at-risk of serious health complications from the H1N1 virus.

Bellin Health closed its designated flu clinic late last week after the health system’s flood of patients with flu-like illness began to recede.

The state Department of Health Services announced Thursday that a confirmed H1N1 influenza death was reported in Ozaukee County. The death occurred in an individual with underlying health conditions and is the first H1N1 related death in Ozaukee County.
