In an effort to help the San Diego community stay safe and healthy this flu season, UC San Diego Medical Center continues to monitor changes regarding seasonal and H1N1 Influenza. We have also assembled a Flu Task force to guide our response and provide our community with basic information and answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Update: October 23, 2009
The second batch of H1N1 Vaccine has arrived in San Diego County. Only a very limited supply has been sent to the County, and according to federal guidelines, these initial shots have been designated for certain priority groups:
- Pregnant women
- Caretakers of infants under 6 months old
- Children and young adults 6 months to 24 years old
- Adults 25 to 64 years old with underyling medical conditions
- Health care workers
To find a County Public Health Facility that is admistering the H1N1 vaccine to priority groups, visit the County website.
If you are in a designated priority group and receive your health care from a UC San Diego Medical Center physician, please contact your primary care office to inquire about receiving the H1Ni vaccine.
If you are not in a priority group, please continue to check this website for updates. State and federal authorities anticipate distributing enough H1N1 vaccine for everyone who wishes to be vaccinated in the coming months.
