During weekends in November and December, the New York City Health Department will hold H1N1 flu vaccination clinics for individuals meeting certain criteria.
The clinics, which are being held in all five boroughs, will be open to pregnant women, those between the ages of four and 24, and individuals who either live with children under six months of age or those who care for them.
Additionally, adults between 25 and 64 will be able to get the vaccination if they have “underlying health conditions that increases risk of severe illness or complications,” according to the Health Department. These complications include asthma, diabetes, chronic heart and lung conditions, kidney failure and a weakened immune system.
