Carroll County Coalition For Public Health

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 Carroll County Coalition for Public Health stood up 21 Point of Dispensing H1N1 clinics in December and January, in various locations around the county and vaccinated 2,167 children and adults.  We would like to say thank you to the following;  our partners in planning, our volunteers, vaccinators, facilities and their employees, and most of all the willing participants who chose to come out be vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus.

At this time we have no scheduled upcoming H1N1 clinics, although we are interested in reaching out to special groups (i.e. Dinner Bells, church groups, retirement homes, etc…) who are still in need of vaccination.  Please contact us for more information.

If you personally are looking to receive your H1N1 vaccination or your child (9 & under) is in need of a second dose, please contact your Primary Care Provider or contact us if you do not have a Primary Care Provider and we can refer you to a local vaccinator.

The Ossipee H1N1 Flu Clinic has ben added to the Flu Clinic schedule for January 12th, 4pm-7pm at the Ossipee Central School.

Visit H1N1 Flu Clinics for more available clinic dates and information.

Med Immune has recalled 13 “batches” or lot numbers of the nasal mist vaccine.  This is similar to the previous Sanofi recall in that it is related to potency not safety. CCCPH did not receive or administer any of the 13 lot numbers of recalled vaccine.  For more information about the recall, visit the CDC link below:
