H1N1 Flu Clinics to start this week

The Northwestern Health Unit says it will begin its high risk H1N1 flu shot clinics this week.

The first group to get the shot will be those at high-risk --people 65 and under with chronic health conditions, and healthy kids between six months and five years old.

Director of Health Protection Arlene Lesenke says other people who should be first up for the
flu shot are health care workers, anyone who lives in a remote or isolated community and anyone in a household, or a care provider of someone who is considered high risk.

The first clinic will take place at the Kenora Rec. Center today from 10 in the morning until 4:00 in the afternoon.

A clinic will also take place at the Norman Community Club on Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
