Dallas County residents look forward to H1N1 vaccine clinic

Dallas, Texas (CaymanMama.com) — Dallas County residents will see their first public vaccination clinic soon and that has some breathing a sigh of relief.
Dallas’s first public clinic for H1N1 vaccinations will be held Wednesday in Dallas County, county health department director Zachary Thompson announced Tuesday.
According to the Dallas Morning News, “County officials still have not settled on a location, he said. That announcement will be made tomorrow. The county received an additional shipment of 5,000 doses of vaccine today. If no other shipments arrive, the clinic will have 10,700 doses available.”
Tarrant county is currently holding 3,110 doses of the H1N1 vaccine, but they are only to be administered to pregnant women and children with chronic illnesses.
Dallas County health officials originally designated their vaccine doses for those at the highest risk of contracting the virus who have no medical coverage. In addition, they had intended for the vaccine to be available to the general public prior to the clinic opening. But state health officials say that will likely not be the case.
“Vaccine won’t be widely available, such as to pharmacies, until at least late November,” said Carrie Williams, spokesperson for the state health department.
The federal CDC said Tuesday that the supply of the vaccine will be in ample supply soon but that the demand still greatly surpasses the supply.
“It is likely that too little vaccine is one thing that is making people more interested in getting vaccinated,” said Dr. Thomas Frieden, head of the CDC.
