H1N1 Swine Flu Preparedness

To protect yourself and your family against H1N1 influenza, as well as seasonal influenza, and to help prevent the spread of disease, teach your children to:

• Wash their hands often.

• Cough or sneeze into their sleeve/elbow - not into their hands.
  

• Cover their nose and mouth when sneezing, coughing or blowing their nose.

• Promptly dispose of used tissues and wash hands with soap and water.

• Not share food, utensils or beverages with others.

• Avoid close contact with sick people.      

Spokane Regional Health District Swine Flu Update

Several postponed H1N1 vaccination clinics rescheduled in November and December

The H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine supply is anticipated to improve in the following weeks, allowing the Spokane Regional Health District to reschedule several clinics that had been postponed. The rescheduled clinics are as follows

•     November 18, Airway Heights Community Center, 11:00 am – 6:00 pm
•     December 1, Spokane Valley Partners, 11:00 am – 6:00 pm
•     December 2, West Central Community Center, 11:00 am – 6:00 pm
•     December 8, East Central Community Center, 11:00 am – 6:00 pm
•     December 10, Northeast Community Center, 11:00 am – 6:00 p

These rescheduled clinics will be offered as walk-in only. Both versions (nasal spray and injectable) of the H1N1 vaccine may not be available at all clinics, therefore, please call the Spokane Regional Health District’s H1N1 hotline 324-1495 or visit their website www.srhd.org in advance of the clinics. 

The Spokane Regional Health District is offering the free vaccinations for people in the CDC’s H1N1 prioritized vaccination groups, which include

•     Pregnant women, because they are at higher risk of complications from influenza;
•     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;
•     Health care and emergency medical services personnel who provide direct patient care, to prevent illness and transmission to patients.
•     All people 6 months to 24 years of age, because the majority of cases have occurred in this age group, and because of the increased likelihood of disease spread in schools and childcare settings; and
•     People 25 to 64 years of age who have underlying health conditions associated with higher risk of medical complications from flu.

The Spokane Regional Health District has also been distributing H1N1 vaccine to area healthcare providers, hospitals, and other venues where priority groups can receive the vaccination. Please contact your healthcare provider to see if the H1N1 vaccine is available at your primary healthcare office. Once efforts have been made to vaccinate prioritized groups, the vaccine may become available to everyone who would like to protect themselves through vaccination.

If you have questions, please contact the Spokane Regional Health District or your personal healthcare provider.  Thank you.
