H1N1 clinic scheduled for Feb. 9 at Marshall
HUNTINGTON — The Cabell-Huntington Health Department will conduct an H1N1 vaccination clinic from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 9, in the Memorial Student Center at Marshall University.
The vaccine is free and open to everyone, said Amy Saunders from Marshall’s Student Health Education programs. Both mist and injectable forms of the vaccine will be available.
For those taking an antibiotic, the health department asks that they wait until they have completed the antibiotic before getting the H1N1 vaccine. They should not get an H1N1 vaccine if they have been on Tamiflu or other anti-viral in the 48 hours leading up to the clinic.
Children who are brought to these clinics by someone other than their parent or legal guardian must have a signed permission statement from the parent or legal guardian allowing the children to be vaccinated.
No appointment is necessary for this free clinic.
For more information about the clinic, call the Flu Information Hotline at 304-526-3397 or visit the health department online at www.cabellhealth.org.
