Children under the age of 10 will need two doses of the H1N1 vaccine, four weeks apart, to be fully protected.

Parents will need to bring a child’s H1N1 vaccination card in order for the child to get the second dose at Carew. If a parent has lost or misplaced the card, the parent will need to request an immunization record by going to the health department’s main office on the 5th floor of the City-County Building during normal business hours, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Parkview Health is providing space for the clinic at Carew Medical Park, 1818 Carew St. Parking is available in an attached garage. Vaccine is given on a first-come, first-serve basis. More than 11,400 people have been vaccinated for H1N1 flu since the clinic opened on Oct. 9. The vaccine is free. Children under age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Anyone experiencing symptoms of influenza should stay home and contact a health care provider. People can also limit the spread of flu by covering their cough and washing their hands.
