Public Health officials are advising that the priority groups for H1N1 vaccination clinics are now restricted to the following, Children 6 months to 5 years, School Children 18 years and under Pregnant women 20 weeks plus, Pregnant women less than 20 weeks with underlying medical conditions, Household contacts for children under 6 months and First Nations (on reservation only)



This restriction is in place to ensure that the highest priority groups are vaccinated immediately until a new shipment of vaccine is received next week.
