Vaccinations

H1N1/swine flu

•Vaccine is now available for women who have had a baby within the past six months. Women should contact their obstetricians to get a swine-flu shot.

•A vaccination clinic for Rhode Islanders in kindergarten through 12th grade who attend school out of state will be held on Saturday, Dec. 12, at a location to be announced. Parents must register their children for this clinic by 4 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 2, by going to www.health.ri.gov. Alternative arrangements will be made for parents who cannot attend the clinic because of religious observances, provided they contact the H1N1 Information Line (222-8022) by Dec. 2.

•The state will continue vaccinating children against swine flu at schools around the state on Monday and Tuesday this week. The clinics are listed below. To find the date for the H1N1 swine-flu clinic at your schools, check projo.com and look for “School-based flu clinics.”

•Children who are younger than school age (and older than six months) and pregnant women can obtain swine-flu vaccine from their doctors, as supplies allow.
