The

the general public beginning Tuesday, December 15, 2009. The CDC
high risk groups previously identified remain a priority because
of their increased possibility of serious illness and
complications, but anyone wishing to receive a vaccination may
now call and schedule an appointment to receive H1N1 vaccine.
Appointments can be made by calling (509) 460-4510. Appointments
will be scheduled at the BFHD Kennewick Office, 7102 West
Okanogan Place.
Vaccine is also available to the general public through
healthcare providers, community health clinics, and pharmacies.
We
appreciate your desire to protect yourself and your family from
this new virus with a vaccination. We do urge you to continue
with personal precautions as well. Remember to wash your hands,
cover your cough, and stay home when you are sick.
If
you or your family members catch the flu, you will likely feel
sick for up to a week. It is important to keep the sick person
hydrated by drinking lots of fluids and help keep the fever down
with non-aspirin fever-reducing medication. Stay home until
24-hours after the fever is gone (without the use of
medication), and call your healthcare provider if symptoms get
worse.
