A public service announcement.

Though I wish folks would stop getting their knickers in twists about H1N1, I do plan on getting shots for myself and my kids… and you should too.

Ottawa Public Health (OPH) will begin providing free H1N1 flu vaccinations to Ottawa residents who need it most at its citywide clinics on October 26.

As the initial supply will be limited, OPH will focus on providing the vaccine to the following groups of residents in the first seven to 14 days of operation:

People 6 months old to 65-years-old with chronic medical conditions

Pregnant women

Healthy children between 6 months and five years of age

Health care workers

Household contacts and care providers of infants younger than six months and people with compromised immune systems

women will also have the option to receive the non-adjuvanted H1N1 vaccine, which is expected to be delivered in mid-November.

For more information on the H1N1 virus and vaccine and updates on the vaccine clinics, visit ottawa.ca/health or contact the Ottawa Public Health Information Line at 613-580-6744.
