H1N1 INFLUENZA INFORMATION
HEALTH ADVISORY: H1N1 Influenza Vaccine Offered to All Collin County Residents
(McKINNEY, Texas) – Beginning Monday, December 7, Collin County will be offering H1N1 vaccine to all Collin County residents.
Since receiving vaccine, Collin County has followed the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), offering the vaccine only to specific target groups while vaccine was in limited availability. However, vaccine is now widely available in both public and private sectors throughout Collin County and will be made accessible to all residents who desire to be vaccinated. Collin County individuals are encouraged to get vaccinated prior to holiday travel, as some areas are more severely affected by the H1N1 virus than Collin County. There are currently 66 provider locations who have partnered with Collin County in order to facilitate ease of access to the vaccine for residents. These locations can be found by clicking the link below.
