[All_staff] Limited H1N1 Vaccines Available for Staff w/Specific Conditions

[deborah magaldi]

The JLab Occupational Medicine office has received 30 doses of the H1N1 
vaccine. This initial allotment will be administered to employees with 
the following conditions:

- Pregnancy

- Asthma

- Diabetes

If you have any of these conditions and would like to get an H1N1 
vaccine, please call Occupational Medicine to make an appointment. Call 
ext. 7539 for an appointment. These medical conditions are being given 
vaccination priority because they have been associated with increased 
risk of complications from H1N1.

H1N1 vaccine distribution is controlled by the Public Health 
system. Several months ago, Occupational Medicine gained approval to be 
a vaccine administration site. At that time, we requested 300 doses. We 
have now received our first allotment of 30 doses. We do not know 
whether or when we will receive additional doses, but we are cautiously 
optimistic. We will keep the Lab informed of new developments.

Thank you,

Dr. Smitty Chandler
