Another H1N1 vaccination clinic will be held from 8 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4 p.m. Thursday, according to Amy Hector BSN, RN at the Stoddard County Health Center in Bloomfield, Mo.

"We will continue to vaccinate all those as we've been doing in previous clinics," Hector said, indicating they would serve pregnant women with a physician's order and children 6 months to 18 years old.

During this clinic, the center will also vaccinate adults age 19 to 64 with chronic medical conditions, people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months and healthcare and emergency personnel who have direct contact with patients or infectious material.

There will continue to be no charge for the vaccinations and children that qualify for the flu mist will be required to receive that formula, Hector said.
