H1N1 Vaccination Clinic To Be Held In North Escambia
November 26, 2009
The Escambia County Health Department will be holding a H1N1 vaccination clinic in North Escambia on Saturday, December 12.
The clinic will be held on Saturday, December 12 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. or as long as vaccine is available at the old Carver-Century School at 700 East Hecker Road in Century. This is only H1N1 vaccination clinic planned in North Escambia, according to Molly Payne-Hardin, spokesperson for the health department.
Vaccine will be offered to the five federally-designated priority groups:
- Pregnant women
- Caregivers and those who live with infants under six months
- Individuals ages 6 months -24 years old
- All healthcare workers
- Adults ages 25-64 years old who are at higher risk for 2009 H1N1 because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems.
Individuals do not need to provide proof of age or medical condition.
“This is our first Saturday clinic and I hope that our residents in the northern portion of our county will take advantage of this opportunity to get vaccinated,” said Health Department Director Dr. John Lanza.
To fill out consent forms in advance (this step is optional; you will have time to do this at the clinic):
First, read the appropriate Vaccine Information Sheet (VIS). Healthy individual ages 2 through 49 years old, will be offered the nasal mist format of the vaccine and should read the Vaccine Information Sheet labeled “Live Attenuated”.

H1N1 Influenza Vaccine (Inactive)-VIS (36.4kb; pdf)
Second, after reading the Vaccine Information Sheet (VIS), print, fill out, sign and the following consent form. Each person being vaccinated needs their own consent form.

FYI — the forms in the story above are ONLY for the Century event on December 12. I’ve double checked with the health department — the forms above will be accepted on December 12 in Century.
Just wanted to to inform…….
I went and got my H1N1 vaccine and they wouldn’t take the form I printed offline here. It was a different color (white) from the forms they had there on Fairfield Drive and they had me fill out another form.
The good news was I was in and out in five minutes or less and it didn’t hurt.
Thank you William. I guess I will have to make the trek to Fairfield after work one day.
At this point, the Century H1N1 vaccination clinic is the only one planned from Cantonment north, according to the health department.
Do they plan to give out the vaccine at the Molino Health Dept. at any point? Or will we have to go down to the Fairfield Drive location? If anyone knows I sure would like to know the answer so I can plan accordingly.
Wow! Just another case of us here in north west escambia being forgotten about. Imagine that!
when are they going to go to Ernest Ward Middle school?? My son NEEDS the shot & I do not drive….any1 know??
