More H1N1 Shots Arrive in Metro Nashville

More H1N1 vaccine shots are available in Metro Davidson County today.

The Health Department has continuously run out of the shot form of the vaccine. As a result, it’s still only offered to at risk groups: pregnant women, children aged 6 months to 4 years old, children aged 5-18 who have medical conditions that put them at a higher risk of complications from the flu, and caregivers and household contacts of infants under 6 months.

The H1N1 vaccine in the form of a nasal mist is available to those aged 2 – 49 who are not pregnant and who do not have underlying medical conditions.

The free H1N1 vaccine clinic is located at 311 23rd Avenue North. It’s open 7 am – 4:30 pm, or as long as supplies last.

The state maintains an online list of health departments that have H1N1 vaccine available. The list is updated daily.
