H₁N₁  News Release  from the Howard County Health Department 
 

Yes, it is still out there in our community ! 
 

Although our H₁N₁ flu activity has declined in Indiana in recent weeks, cases of the novel H₁N₁ influenza, including cases of severe disease, continue to occur. 
 

The epidemiology of H₁N₁ over the months ahead is unknown, but another rise in incidence, as occurred during the winter of the 1957-58 pandemic, remains possible.    Vaccination remains the best way to prevent influenza infection and the related hospitalizations and deaths. 
 

H₁N₁ Vaccine is readily available now for all ages and it is especially recommended for all those who are at risk of developing complications from an illness.   
 

H₁N₁ is readily available at your personal physician’s office and at local pharmacies for a nominal charge.    
 

HOWEVER,   FREE   H₁N₁ Vaccine will again be offered by appointment, at the  Howard County Health Department, 120 E. Mulberry Street, on:

            Tuesday, February 9  from 8:30 – 12:30pm  

            Tuesday, February 23 from 8:30 – 11:15 and 1:00 – 2:00 pm
