When will flu shots be available in Lacanto FL?

Answer 1

Seasonal flu vaccine is out and being given in many states in typical locations such as pharmacies and grocery stores, etc.

For the A-H1N1/09 "Swine Flu" vaccine, it is being distributed through US government public health channels to each state. It is expected to be available to certain risk groups beginning in mid October. To know when and where you can be vaccinated, keep alert to your local news reports on the availability and to which risk group it is being provided. Those at higher risk of complications such as small children and pregnant women will be among some of the first to be offered the vaccine as it becomes available. Check with your health care provider to determine if you are at high risk (see also the related question below listing the high risk groups). You can check with your state department of health (see link to the Florida state department of health below) and perhaps get information about locations of public immunization programs, if they have been selected, and other vaccination program details. In many places the programs will be set up in schools, hospitals, clinics, and individual healthcare provider settings.
