Are you eligible for the H1N1 vaccine?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends conditions be placed on those who can be vaccinated first against H1N1 flu.
Bellin Health is now vaccinating those patients who are the most vulnerable to the H1N1 virus, including:

  • Pregnant women
  • Persons who live with or provide care for infants age 6 months or younger (examples: parents, siblings, daycare providers)
  • Health care and emergency medical services personnel who have direct contact with patients or infectious material
  • Children aged 6 months-4 years
  • Children and adolescents aged 5-18 years who have chronic medical conditions that put them at higher risk for influenza-related complications

Please call (920) 445-7313 or call your regular Bellin Health Family Medical Center to schedule an appointment. Vaccine supplies are limited and will be dispensed by appointment only and on a first-come, first-served basis.
