H1N1 swine flu clinics will increase in numbers over the next few weeks, with the hope that all West Virginians wanting the H1N1 vaccination could get it by January. At this time, local health departments continue to vaccinate the high risk segment. H1N1 vaccination clinics were in high-swing this past week, while vaccines were given out first to those in one of five high risk groups, people between the ages of six months and 24 years, pregnant women, health care workers, caregivers of kids younger than six months and those between the ages of 25 and 64 with underlying health risks. Health officials say it could be December before there are enough H1N1 vaccines available to begin vaccinations for those who do not fall into one of the high risk groups.
