Health officials urge anyone who has not been immunized against the H1N1 virus to get vaccinated at a free flu clinic on Wednesday, Feb. 17, from 4 to 7 p.m. in the Middletown City Hall Council Chamber. Officials say that the threat of H1N1 may not be over and that a resurgence of the virus is possible.
There is no age or residency restriction and insurance is not necessary. The vaccine will be given on a first come-first serve basis. Appointments are not required.
Children in need of their second dose of vaccine should also attend this clinic.
People who have a severe allergy to eggs or are running a fever should not receive the vaccine. The H1N1 vaccine is not effective against seasonal influenza.
The clinic is sponsored by MDA 36: the City of Middletown; the towns of Cromwell, Durham, Haddam and Middlefield.
