KEENE — Essex County Public Health Department is offering a community-based H1N1 clinic in Keene.

The clinic will be held 3:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Keene Central School on Market Street.

Those eligible for H1N1 shots at the clinic are: pregnant women, people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age, health-care and emergency medical services personnel, young people age 6 months and 24 years, and

people age 25 through 64 who have chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems.

SCHOOL CLINIC

Public Health had already scheduled a school-based H1N1 clinic, to be held that same Tuesday at Keene Central School. That clinic is open only to children enrolled in the school, school nurses, school nurse aides, school nurse substitutes and staff of the school who are pregnant.

As vaccine becomes more available, additional community and school-based clinics will be scheduled. Those will be posted on Essex County Public Health Department’s Web site: www.co.essex.ny.us/PublicHealth.
