HARRISBURG, Pa., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, has allocated a total of 1,351,400 doses of H1N1 vaccine to Pennsylvania to date, the state Department of Health announced today.
The vaccine has been distributed to 1,076 certified providers, including pediatricians, family health practitioners, obstetricians, hospitals, schools, colleges and universities that agreed to target the groups of people considered most vulnerable to complications from the H1N1 virus.
Priority groups for receiving the H1N1 vaccination include pregnant women; persons six months to 24 years old; healthcare providers and emergency medical services personnel; parents, household members or caregivers of children under six months; and those under 65 with certain underlying medical conditions.
Members of priority groups should contact their healthcare provider to find an H1N1 vaccination site. If their provider does not plan to administer the vaccine or if an individual does not have a healthcare provider, please call 1-877-PA HEALTH or visit www.H1N1inPA.com.
When sufficient vaccine becomes available, public H1N1 vaccination clinics will be held across the state.
