Swine Flu
(H1N1 flu)
information
Your own
health care provider may be your best option for
getting vaccinated against the seasonal flu and the
H1N1 flu.
Some providers have already given out seasonal flu
vaccines, while others are waiting to receive their
vaccine supply.
However, supplies are still limited, so not everyone
will be able to get vaccinated at once. More vaccine
is coming and vaccinations against H1N1 flu will
continue through the coming months, so check back
with your provider or pharmacy clinic frequently.
Please be patient. It's never too late to get
vaccinated!
