The San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) announces a series of five H1N1 mass vaccination events for San Diego County residents, beginning with a clinic this Friday at Qualcomm Stadium.
“We would like to remind county residents that H1N1 is still very active in our communities,” said Dianne Jacob, chairwoman, San Diego County Board of Supervisors. “These H1N1 vaccination clinics are a great way for those who have yet to be vaccinated to come in and get their H1N1 vaccine. This is a true public health effort by the County to get people vaccinated, and by getting your H1N1 vaccine, you’re not only protecting yourself but protecting your loved ones and neighbors.”
The H1N1 vaccine is now available to everyone, regardless of age. “Immunization of the community is a shared responsibility,” said Wilma Wooten, MD, MPH, San Diego County public health officer. “We encourage everyone to do their part in protecting their communities, families and themselves against H1N1.”
