H1N1 flu clinic at Adair Co. Health Dept., Thurs, Dec. 3, 2009 Free clinic will be at 802 Westlake Drive, Columbia, KY and will offer injectible vaccine only By Amy Tomlinson, Lake Cumberland District Health Dept. The Lake Cumberland District Health Department is planning another public flu clinic for H1N1 vaccinations only. The clinic will be held Thursday evening, December 3, 2009, from 5pm until 8pmCT at the Adair County Health Department, 802 Westlake DR, Columbia, KY. This clinic will offer the injectable form of the vaccine only. These vaccinations are reserved at this time for individuals who fall into the priority groups identified by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). No appointments will be made. Vaccine will be available on a walk-in basis. The current recommendations regarding who should be vaccinated first include:
Outbreaks of illness may occur in waves of about 6-12 week time periods. The first wave is usually a smaller wave; followed by a larger "peak" wave. Subsequent smaller waves can occur as well. The United States experienced its first wave of 2009 H1N1 pandemic activity in the spring of 2009. At this time, we are experiencing a second wave of 2009 H1N1 activity. Flu activity is widespread in most of the country at this time, which is highly unusual during regular seasonal flu for this time of year, but not unexpected for a pandemic. Even after flu activity peaks during the current wave, it's possible that other waves of influenza activity may occur - caused by either 2009 H1N1 viruses or regular seasonal flu viruses. Because the timing and spread of influenza viruses are unpredictable, CDC is continuing to recommend vaccination with 2009 H1N1 vaccine. Although it appears that this wave of H1N1 illness may be decreasing, more H1N1 related illness is expected to occur in the coming weeks and months. It is still very important that people receive this vaccine to protect themselves against future waves of illness. If you have questions, call the Adair County Health Department at (270) 384-2286. Hit "0" to get stop the options and get an operator after the phone answers. -CM This story was posted on 2009-11-23 08:58:58
