Loading ...H1N1 Flu Clinics
In cooperation with Northway Bank, the Carroll County Coalition for Public Health will be holding four more H1N1 clinics in the area. The clinics are open for all employees, customers and general public. The best way to protect yourself or your family members against H1N1 is still vaccination and we are still making vaccine available to people in Carroll County. Visit one of four clinics at the Northway Banks or: If in Northern Carroll County, call 356-5461 x 288 or in Southern Carroll County 569-2729 x 321. Clinics are free and open to the public.

The groups recommended to receive the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine include:
PHASE I.
- Pregnant women because they are at higher risk of complications and can potentially provide protection to infants who cannot be vaccinated;
- Healthcare workers and emergency medical services personnel with direct patient contact because infections among healthcare workers have been reported and this can be a potential source of infection for vulnerable patients. increased absenteeism in this population could reduce healthcare system capacity;
- Children from 6 months through 18 years of age with medical conditions
PHASE II.
- All Children from 6 months through 4 years of age because cases of 2009 H1N1 influenza have been seen in children who are in close contact with each other in school and day care settings, which increases the likelihood of disease spread;
- Household contacts and caregivers for children younger than 6 months of age because younger infants are at higher risk of influenza-related complications and cannot be vaccinated. Vaccination of those in close contact with infants younger than 6 months old might help protect infants by “cocooning” them from the virus;
PHASE III.
- All people from 6 months through 24 years of age because many cases of 2009 H1N1 influenza have been seen in these healthy young adults and they often live, work, and study in close proximity, and they are a frequently mobile population;
- Healthcare and emergency medical services personnel with direct patient contact because infections among healthcare workers increases absenteeism in this population and could reduce healthcare system capacity;
- Persons aged 25 through 64 years who have health conditions associated with higher risk of medical complications from influenza.
PHASE IV.
- General Public
We are in Phase 4. Call your primary care provider or attend one of our clinics . Select H1N1 flu clinic tab above for more info.
