• Pregnant women
• Anyone 4 through 24 years old
• People 25 through 64 with health conditions that make influenza more dangerous. These include asthma, diabetes, chronic heart and lung conditions, kidney failure, or a weakened immune system.
• Anyone who lives with or cares for children less than 6 months old
• Health care workers who have direct contact with patients and cannot receive vaccine through their employers.

Though the weekend clinics cannot serve children under 4, most regular vaccination sites can. For a full directory of clinics where H1N1 vaccine is available, New Yorkers can call 311 or visit nyc.gov/flu.

“If you belong to any of the priority groups, and you don’t have access to H1N1 vaccine through a primary health care provider, we urge you to take advantage of this opportunity,” said Dr. Thomas Farley, New York City Health Commissioner. “Getting immunized is the best way to prevent the spread of infection.”

This weekend’s clinic locations are listed below. Each clinic will operate from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. The clinics are designed to accommodate large numbers of people, but outdoor lines are possible, so visitors should dress for inclement weather. Anyone under 18 must present a signed parental consent form, and anyone under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

For more information about H1N1 influenza, and the City’s vaccination efforts, please visit nyc.gov/flu or call 311.
