LCSD & H1N1 Flu
Updated: Feb. 8, 2010
H1N1 Vaccine Now Available at School Based Health Clinics.... Even with decreasing numbers of H1N1 flu cases, it's still extremely important for EVERYONE to be vaccinated so we can avoid another outbreak. Students are encouraged to make an appointment with their local School Based Health Clinic for an H1N1 vaccination. Or, they may attend a school-based flu vaccine clinic scheduled for Feb. 9. Click here to learn more!
For More Information... Go to www.flu.oregon.gov for the latest H1N1 flu information provided by Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS). Other reliable sources are www.cdc.gov/h1n1 -- AND -- www.flu.gov
Click here to read a "Key Message" from Oregon Division of Health.
Oregon DHS has an Influenza Hotline (for both seasonal and H1N1 flu) to serve as a one-stop information call line for the general public, healthcare providers and labs. 1-800-978-3040.
Lincoln County Flu Update: LCH&HS produces a weekly update, "All Things Flu." Some highlights of the most recent issue (Feb. 8, 2010):
- H1N1 flu and seasonal flu vaccine are available most week days at the LCH&HS office in Newport. Call 265-9588 for information and an appointment.
- You may also call the Lincoln Community Health Center in Lincoln City (557-2700) or Newport (265-4947) for an appointment.
- Lincoln County has received a total of 15,200 doses of H1N1 vaccine. This is enough to innoculate 76% of the county's high risk population, or 33% of the entire county population.
- As of Feb. 2, LCH&HS has given 5,306 vaccinations and has distributed 6,688 doses to its partners (such as physicians, school-based health clinics and community health centers).
