Immunization clinics for high risk group will continue: PCHA 
The News
NEW?GLASGOW – The Pictou County Health Authority will continue to hold H1N1 immunization clinics for specific high-risk groups this week.
The clinics will be for the following high-risk groups: First Nations communities, pregnant women (including women four weeks post partum) and children younger than five years of age (six to 59 months), but not their family members.
Clinics will be held at the Museum of Industry in Stellarton on Thursday and Friday from noon to 7 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
There are no clinics scheduled beyond these dates at this time. Pictou County residents in these high-risk groups are encouraged to attend one of these clinics.
The unadjuvanted H1N1 vaccine for women less than 20 weeks pregnant will be available at these clinics.
People who do not belong to one of these groups will not receive a vaccine at this time.
People are reminded to bring their health card. Children under 12 years of age must be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian or the accompanying adult must have written permission for the child’s immunization from that parent/legal guardian.
There is no charge for the H1N1 vaccine. County residents are asked not come to the clinic if they are sick or have flu symptoms.
Pictou County residents can go to www.pcha.nshealth.ca for the latest clinic schedule and information on H1N1.

David from NS writes: I agree with the high-risk groups, but was just wondering, say in like 2 months or so we get hit hard with snow and power loss, and sick people. Are there people in these high-risk groups who restore lost power and plow the roads, So sick people can get to the hospital for help!!! Just a thought!!

Oblivious from NS writes: The governement should most importantly be looking at those people that maintain our society ... for example police, fire dept that have yet to receive the vaccination. I wonder who will maintain society or put out the fires when these departments all come down with H1N1?
The government certainly didn't think things out very well, when planning for something that they have know about for months. Seems like they were more worried scaring everyone through the media, than strtegically planning out vaccination clinics!

Hmm interesting from NS writes: An unidentified Alberta health care worker who allowed the Calgary Flames hockey team and players' families to privately receive H1N1 vaccinations last week has been fired and more disciplinary action against other staff members may follow, Alberta Health Services announced this afternoon.
