H1N1 (Swine Flu)

All November H1N1 clinics cancelled; vaccine redirected to SnoCo docs’ offices
All mass vaccination clinics scheduled for Saturdays in November are cancelled. Instead, limited supplies of vaccine will be directed to Snohomish County medical providers whose patients are at high risk of complications from H1N1 influenza. No retail pharmacies and not all providers will have vaccine until the supply of vaccine improves.

The Snohomish Health District began distributing H1N1 vaccine to doctors’ offices Wednesday morning, Nov. 4, beginning with providers who are registered and participating in the state Vaccine for Children program. Private providers will not charge for the vaccine but may charge an administration fee for each dose.

A list of Snohomish County providers who have a small supply of vaccine will be posted on www.snocoflu.com and updated weekly. [ List of Providers ]

The Health District will monitor and evaluate the new distribution approach during the next several weeks. Based on that information and vaccine supply, the Health District and our community partners could decide to schedule mass vaccination clinics later in the year. [ More... ]

NEW: Change in H1N1 Vaccination Priority Groups
CDC has directed public health agencies to assure that H1N1 vaccine is administered only to persons in the ACIP priority populations. This policy will be implemented immediately in Snohomish Health District clinics and in community provider clinics. With less vaccine available than expected, vaccine must be directed to those at highest risk for complications and to health care workers who could expose those at highest risk for complications. Until an adequate supply of vaccine becomes available, it is to be limited to the following priority populations:

pregnant women
persons who live with or provide care for infants younger than 6 months
health care and emergency medical services personnel
children and young adults ages 6 months-24 years
persons ages 25-64 years who have medical conditions that put them at higher risk for influenza-related complications

Medical providers in Snohomish County will no longer vaccinate teachers or childcare professionals who do not otherwise fit into a priority group.
