According to Gary Cox, Director of the health department, “This is a way of reducing the amount of time the public must wait to get the H1N1 vaccine. We want to encourage everyone to get the vaccine when the vaccine becomes available to them.”

All clinics will follow new Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Oklahoma State Department of Health guidelines and will be open only to the following priority groups:

• Pregnant women

• Children, adolescents and young adults ages 6 months – 24 years

• All healthcare and emergency medical services personnel

• Any person who lives with, or provides care for, infants aged less than 6 months (e.g., parents, siblings, grandparents and daycare providers)
