H1N1 vaccine now available to adults over 65 and children and youth through Halton Region clinics and physician offices

Starting November 12, the Halton Region Health Department H1N1 immunization clinics will begin offering H1N1 immunizations to individuals who are 65 years of age or older, along with children and youth five to 18 years old.

Residents are encouraged to contact their physician’s office to see if the vaccine is available there.

In addition, the Region is opening a fifth immunization clinic at Mainway Arena and Community Centre in Burlington on Friday, November 13, and will offer two clinic locations over the weekend (Nov 14-15), instead of just one.

The two clinics open on the weekend will be the Halton Regional Centre, Oakville and Gary Allan High School, Burlington.

Halton Hills (Georgetown) Gellert Community Centre will have a clinic open November 12 from 4pm to 8pm and November 13 from 12pm to 8pm.

Individuals between the ages of 18-65 who do not have a chronic health condition are asked to please be patient and wait for the H1N1 immunization clinics to open to the general public–likely at the end of this month.

For pregnant women who chose to wait for the unadjuvanted vaccine, it continues to be available only at the Oakville clinic.

Depending on the supply of vaccine, clinics locations and hours may change next week. Please continue to check the Halton Region website at www.halton.ca or dial 311 for updates
