And Finally, H1N1 Vaccines for All

Montgomery County is opening its first walk-in H1N1 vaccination clinic to the general public, adding healthy adults and seniors to the target groups currently being vaccinated.

Here's the latest schedule of clinics, announced today:


High-Risk Groups By Appointment Only:

• Tuesday, Dec. 15 in Germantown and Silver Spring: Nasal spray and injectable available. Call 240-777-4040 on Friday, Dec. 11, between 2 and 4 p.m. for an appointment.
• Wednesday, Dec. 16 in Silver Spring: Nasal spray and injectable available. Call 240-777-4040 on Friday, Dec. 11, between 2 and 4 p.m. for an appointment.

General Walk-In Clinic

• Sunday, Dec. 20 at Montgomery College, Rockville campus, 51 Mannakee St. time: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Of course, all this follows analysis released earlier this week that H1N1 has thus far been milder than expected. While such information will likely have some of us rethinking whether we should get vaccinated (if we haven't already gotten the shot), experts are still recommending vaccinations.
