More H1N1 shots

Suddenly Delaware County is Ground Zero in the war against H1N1 flu.

The state Health Department was so successful – and so busy – in offering three clinics over the weekend on the campus of Penn State Brandywine, they are offering two more clinics today and Wednesday in Chester.

The same ground rules apply. You must call to register for the sessions.
And you must be in one of the at-risk groups targeted for vaccinations. Get all the details here.

Over the weekend it is believed more than 8,500 people made their way to the Middletown campus to get vaccinated.

It’s a little short notice, with word just being released yesterday afternoon and residents needing to register for their shots, but having a clinic in Chester is a good idea.

The two-day session comes as state health experts say it appears problems connected to H1N1 flu are on the wane in the state. They make it clear we’re not out of the woods just yet, but it looks like we’re getting the upper hand.

Bottom line is this: If you’re in one of the at-risk groups, you should get a vaccination. You’ve got two more shots today and tomorrow in Chester.
