H1N1 vaccination clinic planned for November 21 in St. Charles County

KSDK -- For the second weekend in a row, H1N1 vaccinations will be available in St. Charles County for people in the "high risk" category.

The St. Charles County Department of Community Health and the Environment is partnering with SARA Services to conduct the clinic.

It will take place on Saturday, November 21 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Stegton Conference Center, 1450 Wall St. in St. Charles.

Last weekend, the same group vaccinated more than 1,200 at Stegton.

More than 800 doses of H1N1 vaccine will be available at the November 21 clinic. Because of the limited supply of vaccine, only those falling into one of the five following categories will receive vaccinations. They are:

- Pregnant women
- People age 4 to 24
- People age 25 to 64 with health conditions that make them more susceptible to flu complications
- People who live with or care for infants under 6 months of age
Emergency medical services and health care workers.
- Pregnant women are especially encouraged to attend this clinic, as there will be an ample supply of preservative-free vaccine available. In addition to H1N1 vaccine, a small number of seasonal flu shots will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Participants can pre-register for the clinic by visiting www.FluShotsToday.com. Pre-registration is strongly recommended, but not required. There will be a $15 administration charge for the H1N1 vaccination.
