H1N1 OB VACCINATION CLINICS TO BE HELD THIS WEEKEND November 4, 2009

 

Lee Memorial Health System, in collaboration with the Lee County Health Department, will offer free H1N1 vaccinations this weekend at HealthPark Medical Center and Cape Coral hospital to pregnant women.

On Saturday, Nov. 7, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. women who are expecting and have not yet received an H1N1 vaccination are encouraged to participate in an OB vaccination clinic. 

At HealthPark Medical Center, located at Summerlin and Bass Road, in the atrium (use entrance A or entrance B) volunteers will greet you and assist with registration. 

The clinic at Cape Coral Hospital is being held in the Life Center, south of the emergency department with parking in front and in back of the hospital, where volunteers will also greet and assist you.

It is not necessary to arrive early to receive the vaccination. The doors will not open until 9 a.m. and the process should move very quickly, even if there is a large crowd.  The average time to register and receive the vaccine at the recent H1N1 Vaccination Clinics held by the Lee County Health Department was only 12 minutes. We hope to provide the same level of service at Saturday’s clinics.

These clinics are for pregnant women only.  Only pregnant women will receive the vaccination at these clinics. While everyone should eventually be vaccinated, these clinics are to meet the needs for the first priority group, a high risk category – pregnant women.

There are a number of resources available for additional information on influenza activity. The Florida Department of Health toll-free number provides public health information and updates on H1N1 Swine flu.  The information line is available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EDT, seven days a week.  Information is available in English, Spanish and Creole. The Florida Flu Information Line is 1-877-352-3581.
