Washington County Public Health

Following newly released H1N1 vaccine guidance from the State of Oregon Public Health Division on 11/13/09, and the continued vaccine delivery delays, Washington County Public Health officials are focusing H1N1 vaccine to those at highest risk of flu complications within the priority groups. These people include:

• Pregnant women
• Children age 6 months through 5 years
• Individuals age 5 through 64 with underlying medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart and/or lung disease

• Household contacts of children under the age of 6 months
• Healthcare providers and emergency medical services personnel

In support of this approach, Washington County Public Health is allocating most of its weekly vaccine shipments directly to healthcare systems and healthcare providers so that individuals at highest risk can get H1N1 vaccine from their doctors.

• If you have a healthcare provider (doctor, clinic), please call them to get an appointment. Remember vaccine is shipped weekly so you may need to check back with them.
• If you do not have a healthcare provider, please call 503-846-8851. We have a limited amount of vaccine to distribute weekly for individuals without a doctor and who meet the criteria listed above.

Thank you for your continued patience. The shortage of H1N1 vaccine continues to make H1N1 vaccination efforts very challenging.

Priority groups include pregnant women; children 6 months to 5 years of age; and people 5 to 64 years of age with health conditions that increase their risk for severe infection. Healthcare workers; and household contacts or caregivers of children younger than 6 months, are also considered a priority group because of their potential to spread infection to others at high risk for severe infection. People 5 to 24 years of age who have no underlying health conditions are considered a priority group as well, but are felt to be at lower risk for severe infection.
