H1N1 continues to be a hot topic. Vaccine supplies are increasing around the country. The CDC and Minnesota Department of Health continue to focus the available vaccine supply on the highest risk subset of the general risk groups.
Click the picture for a link to a Minnesota Department of Health web page with advice on what to do if you get sick.
This subset is (in no particular order):
- Pregnant women
- Children 6 months thru 4 years of age
- Children and adolescents age 5-18 who have underlying health conditions that increase the possibility of more significant problems with flu
- Health care and Emergency Services workers who have direct patient contact or contact with infectious materials
- People who live with, or provide care for children under 6 months old
Without knowing when adequate vaccine will be available, advance scheduling is difficult. The high priority group (see above) will be expanded as supplies increase. Lake County Public Health, Lake View Clinic and Lake View Hospital are all watching the vaccine situation closely.
