Injectable Vaccine Now Available

Currently we are scheduling appointments for either the H1N1 injectable vaccine or the H1N1 nasal mist vaccine.

The DuPage County Health Department is collaborating with College of DuPage and Village of Downers Grove to expand our appointment schedule. Two additional appointment-only H1N1 vaccination clinics have been scheduled. The first clinic will be held at College of DuPage on Saturday, Dec. 12. The second clinic will be held the following day, Sunday, Dec. 13 at Downers Grove South High School.

Due to limited supply and high demand of the H1N1 vaccine, we will be scheduling appointments for those in the following priority groups:

• Pregnant women
• People who live with or care for infants younger than 6 months of age
• Health care and emergency medical personnel
• Anyone from 6 months through 24 years of age
• Anyone from 25 through 64 years of age with certain chronic medical conditions or a weakened immune system

As reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention more and more vaccine is becoming available on a regular basis. Please be assured there will be enough vaccine for all DuPage County residents who wish to become vaccinated.

If you would like to make a vaccination appointment please call 1-866-311-1123. Due to high call volume, you may get a busy signal, if you do, please continue to call 1-866-311-1123. We encourage you to try calling during off, or non-peak hours. The appointment line is taking calls 24/7.
