H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine

Lebanon PA 10/22/2009: First responders, then students and pregnant women will be immunized against H1N1, the Swine Flu. In addition, hospital and nursing home staff will be inoculated. After that, up to 29,615 residents may voluntarily receive free swine flu vaccine. (For those who have allergies, the vaccine is an egg base.) We are told that if you were born before 1950, you have experienced enough flu seasons, which built up an immunity in your system.

If you are off from school or work with the Swine Flu, do not return until youve gone temperature free for at least 24 hours without the aid of Tylenol or Aspirin. Of course you should wash your hands frequently and sneeze into your elbow.

Lebanon County will establish mass vaccination centers around December, or earlier if the vaccine arrives. EMA will receive and store Lebanon Countys supply of vaccine. Volunteers are needed to administer shots, process papers. To volunteer, contact EMA at 272-7621 or register on the Department of Health website.
