H1N1 Vaccine Clinics at BRMC

(We're running this again as a public service)

Bradford Regional Medical Center is planning its first two H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine clinics for certain high risk groups, starting next week.

Pregnant women and people six months to 24 years old can obtain the vaccine from noon to 6 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 26 and Tues., Oct. 27. Patients will be screened for appropriateness and registered in the Outpatient Services Center lobby, N. Bennett Street Ext. No appointments are necessary and supplies are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Children under 10 will need two shots to be fully protected, given 28 days apart. A reminder card will be given to their care giver at the time of the first vaccine date.

Parental or guardian consent is required for those under 18 years of age. Officials said future H1N1 clinics will be scheduled as additional vaccine becomes available. Those with questions about the vaccine should contact their physicians. The public is asked to listen to 1490 WESB for updates on the H1N1 flu vaccine supplies at BRMC.

We're not blowing our own horn by asking listeners to stay tuned to WESB for updates on the vaccine supply. BRMC officials have chosen us to keep the public updated on the supply of the vaccine on Monday and Tuesday in case they run out.
