People planning on attending the H1N1 clinics can go to the health department Web site, visit the "Where do I get an H1N1 flu shot?" section and click the Express Check In button. The vaccine registration forms can be downloaded, printed, and completed by hand. Simply bring the completed forms to the next flu clinic.

Anyone bringing a child to the clinic who is not the parent must have a signed permission slip from the parent authorizing the immunizations. The slip must read:

I (Full Name Parent) give permission for (Full Name of Person) to obtain the H1N1 vaccination for: (All children must be listed with full names and date of birth). This slip must be signed and dated with the date they bring the child to the clinic.

The immunizations are free of charge from the health department; however the health department will accept donations to help cover the cost of administering the vaccine.

For information on both seasonal and H1N1 influenza please call 419-4123 or go the OCCHD Web site.
