H1N1 vaccines delayed, some to get it next week
By Sheri Monk
Cypress Health Region has received nowhere near enough of the H1N1 vaccine for the province. The entire country has been shorted, with delays at the manufacturer cited as the cause.
Next week, children between the ages of six months and five years, pregnant women and post-partum women up to four weeks past delivery can attend the H1N1 clinic at Swift Current. Vaccinations will be given at the Wheatland Mall on November 2, 3, 5 and 6 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
The virus is well-spread throughout the region and people of all ages must take precautions from catching it. See www.fightflu.ca for more information on how to reduce the spread of pandemic H1N1.
More information will be found in the pages of the Nov. 3 edition of The Badger.
