Alberta Health Services has announced numerous H1N1 vaccination clinic in Central Alberta.

Starting Thursday, children aged 6 months (child must be at least six months old when they receive the H1N1 vaccine) to under five years (as of Nov. 1) will be targeted. Proof of age (Health Care card, birth certificate or other valid identification) must be provided.

On Friday, the program will expand to include pregnant women.

At this time, the vaccine will not be available to other Albertans. When more vaccine becomes available from the manufacturer, the targeted immunization program will be further expanded to include people under 65 with chronic health conditions. Details will be announced as more information becomes available on the vaccine supply.

All Albertans who want to be immunized will have that opportunity when increased supply of the vaccine arrives from the manufacturer, says Alberta Health Services.

To ensure vaccine can be provided to high risk groups, no exceptions can be allowed. This is a provincewide roll-out.
