On Thursday October 29, 2009 “Influenza A (H1N1) Monovalent Vaccine” would be freely available at Tulsa Community College for the groups at the high risk of being infected with Swine Flu.
The location is as following
“Tulsa Community College North East Campus
3737 East Apache Street (East of the Apache Harvard Intersection)”
The vaccination would start at about 3 P.M. and would close 4 hours later.
High risk personnel fall in the following categories:
Children who have passed 6 months mark and not older than 18 years of age
Expecting mothers
Nurses doctors or other caregivers at high risk of being infected
Parents taking care of newly borns or infants
The swine flu vaccine is manufactured in the same way as other vaccines are manufactured and contains a killed or ineffective variant of the H1N1 virus. The vaccine can be injected in the arm or there is also vaccine available to be administered directly in the nasal passage via spray.
Tulsa Health Department has cleared that enough vaccine would be made available in the month of November to vaccinate almost everybody so there is no reason to panic. Federal Govt. has taken solid measures to make sure that there is no shortage of the vaccine and Swine Flu outbreak cannot take place.
For the time being centre For Disease Control has released limited number of vials of vaccine. The priority is to get high risk population vaccinated within the last week of October.
