Our supply of Flu Mist has not yet arrived. Please check this page regularly for updates. We will post on here as soon as we have received our shipment.

H1N1 Flu Vaccination:

Our supply of the H1N1 vaccine has not yet arrived. We are expecting to begin receiving it in mid- to late-October. The CDC does not expect a shortage of this vaccine, but initially, only a small supply will be available. For this reason, we are required to give priority for receiving the vaccine to those at higher risk from the disease.

The priority groups – or first to get the H1N1 vaccine are:

• Pregnant women
• Persons who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age
• Healthcare and emergency services personnel
• Persons age 6 months through 24 years
• Persons age 25-64 years who are at higher risk for novel H1N1 because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems.

Children under the age of 9 will require 2 doses of H1N1 vaccine.

Please continue to check the Asheville Med Peds website. It will be updated with information about the availability of H1N1 vaccine as we receive shipments.
