High risk groups have another chance to get the H1N1 vaccine in Polk County. Thursday, the Polk County Health Department is holding a clinic at the Varied Industries Building at the State Fairgrounds.
The county started out with about 3,500 doses Wednesday and unlike past clinics, there was virtually no waiting for the clinic. Thursday's clinic begins at 3:00 p.m. and closes at 8:00 p.m. or when all the vaccine has been distributed.
Polk County officials say they still don't know when the general public will be able to get the vaccine. "At this point we're still being told that we will receive enough vaccine over the next couple months not only to vaccine those at the greatest risk but everyone who wants the vaccination," says Rick Kozin, with the Polk County Health Department.
People in Dallas County are also getting the chance to get the H1N1 vaccine Thursday. The clinic will be set up at 902 Court Street in Adel. It runs from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. or until supplies are gone.
Officials ask that only people in high risk groups -- including pregnant women, caregivers of infants less than six months of age and people age six months to 24 years attend the clinic.
