4 Counties Offering Free H1N1 Vaccines Saturday

ATLANTA -- Clinics in four Metro Atlanta counties will be offering free Swine Flu vaccinations on Saturday.

In Gwinnett and Newton counties, the East Metro Health District will have an H1N1 clinic at two sites. The Norcross Health Center and the Newton County Health Center in Covington both will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The vaccine at those locations will be available for pregnant women, health care and emergency medical personnel, people who live with or care for infants younger than 6 months, anyone from 6 months to 24 years of age, or anyone from 25 to 64 who have medical conditions that put them at higher risk for complications related to the flu.

The Clayton County Board of Health will offer the injectable form of the vaccine from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to the same specified groups on a first-come-first-serve basis until the supply of 3,000 doses is exhausted.

Three Fulton County locations will offer vaccine in both the nasal spray and injection forms from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The same priority groups will be served at the North Fulton Regional Health Center in Alpharetta, the Center Hill Health Center on Atlanta Industrial Parkway, and the College Park Regional Health Center.
