H1N1 vaccines available to some
The 579th Medical Group at Bolling Air Force Base has H1N1 vaccines available for 579th Medical Group beneficiaries including select military who are in the following high-risk categories:
Pregnant women
Caregivers of infants younger than 6 months
Children 6 months old to young adults 24 years old
Adults 25 to 65 years old with chronic medical conditions (such as diabetes, heart⁄lung⁄kidney disease, HIV infection, lupus)
Health care workers and emergency services personnel
Because of the limited initial supply, only beneficiaries who fall into one of the above groups will receive the vaccine.
To receive a vaccination, go to the 579th Medical Group Immunizations Clinic during normal business hours, 7 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.
