Swine Flu (H1N1) Shots

The Monroe County Health Department held public swine flu clinics in November while waiting for enough vaccine to come in for other sites. Most of our patients at Grace Family Medicine and Joy Family Medicine did not find this to be a very accessible route for the vaccine, so our offices have been flooded with phone calls and questions about it. We received two shipments in mid and late November (with no promise of more) and have been inoculating those for whom it is recommended (pregnant women, children 6 months old and up, people who care for children or who are in health-related fields, and adults who have chronic health conditions or compromised immune systems). We’ve been busy!
