SPRINGFIELD — The Clark County Combined Health District will hold an H1N1 vaccine clinic at the Clark County Fairgrounds from 2 to 8 p.m., Tuesday Nov. 10.

Individuals eligible for the vaccine are:

• pregnant women,

• people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age,

• healthcare and emergency medical services personnel,

• persons between the ages of 6 months and 24 years,

• people 25 to 64 years of age who are at higher risk for complications from H1N1 flu because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems

Buses will run from the downtown hub to the fairgrounds and back downtown beginning at 1 p.m. The last bus will leave the fairgrounds at 4 p.m.

They are vaccinating the people who are at highest risk for complications of H1N1 which is what leads to death. If you are reltively healthy you are very unlikely to develop complications and die from H1N1. People over 64 are not being vaccinated as there was swine flu in the 70's and this population already has some immunity to the disease so are low risk for complications. The vaccine is very safe and any claims that it is not is linked to a problem they had in the 1970's. Things have changed.

Hey Ridiculous, it isn't up to the health department. The CDC determines who is eligible. Get your facts straight before you complain. And Trace, this shot is made exactly like the seasonal flu shot, which millions of people get each year with no problems. If H1N1 showed up earlier it would've been included in the seasonal flu shot and you wouldn't have any idea you were getting vaccinated for it.

What about people who are over 64 that are high risk for complications from H1N1 flu?

Thank you TRACE!

Because when it comes to my kids and my baby I won't risk it. The benefits far outweight the risks at this point since I can't keep my family locked up until the end of flu season, I choose to do what I can to protect them.

Teachers on on the front-lines of all the kids getting sick. Why aren't teachers in this group to get shots? It is crazy. We are the ones dealing with sick students everyday!
