MONTGOMERY, Alabama - MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Alabama health officials say they will
begin school-based clinics for swine flu vaccinates the week of
Nov. 30.
State Health Officer Don Williamson said Monday that they are
also encouraging a more expanded target group to get vaccinated as
more vaccine arrives in Alabama.
The target group has been expanded to include all individuals 6
months through 24 years old and adults 25-64 years old with
underlying medical conditions. Children 6 months through 4 years
old, children 5-18 with underlying health problems, pregnant women,
caregivers of babies under 6 months and health care workers also
continue to qualify as priority patients.
The Alabama Department of Public Health expects to receive
180,000 doses of vaccine this week.
