The Public Investigator

NEWS ALERT: The Lake County Health Department expects to continue to receive more allocations of H1N1 vaccine in the coming weeks. Future clinic dates, times and locations will be posted on the Lake County Health Department’s H1N1 web page as soon as they are scheduled. The bilingual flu hotline (847.377.8350) will also have continual updates.

In addition to the Health Department clinics, vaccinations will be available from many community health care providers, pharmacies and clinics. The Illinois Department of Public Health also has a list of public sites in Lake County that will offer the H1N1 vaccine this season. 

Why this news is important to you: This is quite literally a matter of life and death. Timely distribution of the H1N1 flu vaccination to priority at-risk groups will save lives. Long vaccine shortages and distribution failures can cause death.

Subscribers can read The Public Investigator’s news report on why only a fraction of Lake County’s at-risk residents have received the H1N1 flu vaccine and where the next public clinic will be located.
