Who:
This clinic is open to anyone older than six months of age who wishes to be protected against the novel H1N1 flu. Many kids still need their second dose of vaccine. Children younger than 10 years of age are strongly encouraged to receive a recommended second dose (“booster”) of vaccine in order to be fully protected against the novel H1N1 flu. Recent data show that many children in Washoe County who are eligible for their second dose of novel H1N1 flu vaccine have not yet received it. There must be at least four weeks between the first and second doses. There is no charge for the second dose if received at a clinic hosted by the Washoe County Health District.
All clinics will be held on a first-come, first-served walk-in basis, weather-permitting – no appointment is needed. Please note: We are seeing a steady flow of people at Washoe County Health District novel H1N1 flu vaccination clinics. However, lines are often short and wait times are often minimal. Clinics will close to participants promptly at the times stated.
Each participant attending a vaccination clinic hosted by the Washoe County Health District is expected to behave appropriately by showing courtesy and respect to others. Inappropriate behavior (such as cutting in front of others already in line) or altercations of any kind will not be tolerated.
