H1N1 Frequently Asked Questions
How have the Health Unit Services been affected by the H1N1 Pandemic?

***H1N1 VACCINE CLINIC UPDATE***
(updated 5:55 pm Thursday, November 19, 2009)

CLINICS ARE NOW OPEN TO ALL RESIDENTS
6 MONTHS OF AGE AND OVER.

NOTICE:
SMITHS FALLS CLINIC INFORMATION for Friday, NOV 20th:  The greeter will be at the Smiths Falls Collegiate Institute at Noon to hand out information forms.  Vaccination will not start until 2pm. These information forms will have a number in the top right hand corner. You cannot get this form any other way than by going to the High School on Percy St.  When you are given the form, the greeter will tell you a time to return to receive your vaccination.  This time is based on the average number of people that we can vaccinate in one hour. You are allowed to pick up forms for members of your immediate family/household ONLY (not neighbours, friends, etc.). We will give out forms until we run out of time – we only have so much capacity to vaccinate people in a 6 hour timeframe.  We have very little idea of demand, so we don’t know how long we will have forms available, but will be communicating with our office at 2pm regarding how many forms are left.  If we run out of forms we will try to get information to our phone lines and on our website. When you return to the clinic at your designated time, you will be directed inside the clinic. Do not to come back earlier than the time you are given or you will just have to wait. At this time you can use your Health Card and Driver’s Licence for faster registration check in. Use of these personal information cards is your choice and is not required.

KEMPTVILLE CLINIC INFORMATION for Monday, NOV 23rd: The greeter will be at the WB George Centre at Kemptville College at 11am to hand out information forms. Vaccination will not start until 2pm.

New Developments in H1N1 Vaccine Eligibility
- The Public Health Agency of Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care have changed the recommendations for the second dose of vaccine needed for some children. All children between 6 months of age and under 3 years of age and children between 3 and 9 years of age with chronic health conditions should receive two half-doses of adjuvanted H1N1 flu vaccine, given at least 21 days apart. Guidance for children in this age group is unchanged. Please note that there is no rush for these children to receive their second dose as almost all are protected by the first dose. The second dose is to lengthen protection. [More]
We offer a wide range of services to promote healthy living, healthy growth and development, prevent illness and injury and control communicable diseases in the community. Services are available to individuals and groups of all ages in a variety of places.
