By bdcblogs

According to the Center for Disease Control the novel Swine Flu (H1N1) vaccine is expected to be available in the fall of 2009. Once the vaccine is available it is recommended that people in the following groups receive the vaccine first: pregnant women, people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age, healthcare and emergency medical services personnel, persons between the ages of 6 months and 24 years old, and people ages of 25 through 64 years of age who are at higher risk for novel H1N1 because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems. The steps in this article explain how to find the Swine Flu Vaccine once it is available.

Step 1
PCP – check with your Primary Care Physician first to see if they have the swine flu vaccine and if they will give it to you. They may have limited supply and need to prioritize who receives it.

Step 2
School – CDC noted schools as one of the distribution channels for the swine flu vaccine.

Step 3
Employer – check with your human resource department to see if they are planning a swine flu vaccination program.

Step 4
Vaccination Clinics – the CDC also notes on their website that they expect to setup vaccination clinics. These clinics could be set-up at hospitals or other clinical settings.

Step 5
Pharmacies – check with your local pharmacy to see if they are planning to administer a swine flu vaccination program. Because of the popularity on location of retail pharmacies this could be the most convenient option for finding the swine flu vaccine.
