MONTGOMERY, Alabama - A limited number of H1N1 Swine Flu vaccines will be available Wednesday in EVERY county in Alabama, but only to people in high risk groups.

-Pregnant Women
-Children 6 months through 4 years old
-Parents, caregivers and siblings of children less than 6 months old
- Children and adolescents, 5 through 18 years old, with underlying medical conditions
- Health care workers

“We must target our limited amounts of vaccine to individuals at the highest risk because of the uncertainties in supply we face,” Dr. Donald Williamson, state health officer, said. “We ask for your support and understanding at this time. As more vaccine becomes available, our department and other health care providers will begin vaccinating school children and others outside of these target groups.”

The State Health Department hoped to receive 570,000-600,000 doses by the end of October. But it only has 55,000 doses available at this time. Dr. Williamson said 60% of the state's supply will not arrive until after December 1. So the State Health Department has had to delay plans for things like vaccination clinics at schools until then.
