As the 2009 H1N1 influenza begins to fade from the media spotlight, the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) reminds parents and caregivers of the need for a second dose of H1N1 vaccination for young children. The lack of a second vaccination can increase the possibility for serious health risks in certain groups. Kourtni Hage holds son Hudson as he receives his H1N1 flu shot at Julia Randall Elementary School, Friday, Dec. 11. The Seasonal Flu Vaccine can also be received by anyone, and is available at the Gila County Health Department. Unlike the H1N1 vaccine, which is free, there is a $30 charge for the Seasonal Flu Vaccine. Please call ahead to assure a nurse is available to administer the shot at (800) 304-4452, ext. 8811 for the Payson area.
