Some H1N1 Vaccine gets to Crow Wing County

Crow Wing County has received its first 300 doses of swine flu vaccine. Crow Wing County Medical Advisor, Dr. Peter Henry tells KLKS News, this is just first batch. He says it isn't nearly enough to meet the demand here, and says that young children and pregnant women will be first in line.

Dr. Henry says once a full supply of the vaccine arrives, he is recommending everyone get a shot. He says there should be adequate supply by the mid to end of November.

A walk-in clinic for the most at risk segment of the population will be held Monday at the National Guard Armory in Brainerd.

Dr. Henry says the H1N1 vaccine is safe, contrary to some Internet blog sites.
