Concerned about swine flu? More vaccines on the way

December 1st, 2009 by Niki Reading | Filed under Uncategorized.

I just spoke with Mary Selecky, head of the state Department of Health, who said more H1N1 vaccines are on the way, and should be available by mid-January.

Right now, vaccines are given to those in high risk groups: Pregnant women, people with compromised immune systems, etc. But in a few short weeks, Selecky said, there will be enough vaccine doses for those not in high-risk groups.

Tune into The Impact at 7 and 10 p.m. to see Selecky discuss rural health care initiatives.
