Clinics to begin giving swine flu shots Saturday
Comments 0 | Recommend 0PHOENIX (AP) — The people most at risk with coming down with swine flu will be first in line beginning Saturday at clinics across Maricopa County.
The county health department said more than 39,700 doses of H1N1 vaccine will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Bashas' supermarkets said Friday the H1N1 vaccines will be available from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at six Bashas' locations.
Because the supply of the vaccine is limited, it will likely be made available only to high-risk groups, including pregnant women, toddlers, children with underlying health conditions and caregivers of newborns.
Those who do not fall into those priority groups are being asked by health officials to wait until more immunizations are available.
Anyone not in a high-risk group who shows up Saturday for the vaccine will likely be turned away.
