Clinics open to anyone this week

By Communications staff, Washington State University

PULLMAN – Anyone in Whitman County who wants the H1N1 flu vaccine can now receive it, and WSU Health and Wellness Services will schedule clinics this week to accommodate requests.

The Whitman County Health Department announced today that it has received sufficient supplies of the H1N1 vaccine to lift all restrictions on who may receive it.
 
HWS will offer the H1N1 vaccine to anyone over the age of 18 during special clinics 1-4:45 p.m. Tuesday-Friday. Parents with children younger than 18 should contact their local health-care provider or the Whitman County Health Department for additional clinic times.

The HWS clinics will be held in Room 266 on the second floor of the Washington building.

Paula Adams, communication coordinator for HWS, said the clinics are being offered in collaboration with the Whitman County Health Department and are open to anyone over the age of 18. WSU employees outside of Pullman should check with their county health departments to find H1N1 clinics in their areas.

The cost of the vaccine is $20, and checks should be made out to the Whitman County Health Department. Information will be available for those who want to submit the $20 administration fee to their insurance company.
