H1N1 Vaccination

Advertising relating to the H1N1 vaccination will be taking place across the central west so you may notice an increase of patients presenting. The advertisement will include vaccinating children against H1N1. Below is a table to help with vaccination of children up to the age of 10. The local Public Health Unit would like all practices to know that if assistance is needed with H1N1 clinics, please contact them (Kerrie Bowd 6344 1314) or the Division (Marise 6333 2803).
