Children's H1N1 Flu Clinic Scheduled

This area’s first H1N1 flu clinic will be held Thursday, October 15 from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM in the Middletown Municipal Building Council Chamber. The clinic is only for children 2-4 years of age from Cromwell, Durham, Haddam, Middlefield, and Middletown.

The vaccine will be administered as nasal mist and is usually suitable for children without any health problems. Parents or guardians should check their care provider to determine if the vaccine is appropriate for their child. The H1N1 flu mist is not effective against seasonal flu.

The clinic is free and by appointment only. Proof of age and residency will be required.

More H1N1 flu clinics are expected to be scheduled for other segments of the population when vaccine becomes available. The clinics are sponsored by Mass Dispensing Area 36 (the City of Middletown and the towns of Cromwell, Durham, Haddam, and Middlefield).

For more information or to schedule an appointment call Lisa Mountain at (860) 344-3474.
