Erwin, TN. -- Because of an increasing supply of H1N1 vaccine, the Unicoi Health Department is able now to broaden availability and offer the vaccine to the general public. The Health Department will hold an H1N1 vaccination clinic on Saturday, Dec.19 at Wal-Mart on Tinker Road in Unicoi from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. The vaccine types available at this clinic are Flu Mist® (nasal) and the shot, which will be provided at no charge. Additional information about upcoming clinics and vaccine availability are on the Tennessee Department of Health Web site at http://health.state.tn.us/H1N1.htm.
During October and November when the H1N1 vaccine supply was limited, priority was placed on administering the vaccine to those in high risk categories. Additional supplies of the vaccine have now been received which allows the health department to offer it to the general public and hold clinics such as the one scheduled at Wal-Mart on Saturday.
