“This clinic is being offered for
those who have not yet received their H1N1 vaccination, and for parents
who are awaiting a chance to get their children the booster shot of H1N1
vaccine,” said John Beckley,
health officer and director of the Hunterdon County Department of
Health. According to Beckley, this may be the last H1N1 public
clinic this flu season. “We’re continuously reassessing the pandemic
trends while evolving our organizational capacities to deal with any
possible resurgence.”
