Health Department administering free H1N1 vaccines

Advertiser Staff

The state Health Department will be offering free H1N1 flu vaccines next week in Kalihi and Waianae.

The vaccines will be administered from 12:30 to 3 p.m. Tuesday at Palama Settlement and at 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday at Waianae High School.
“It’s not too late to get vaccinated. H1N1 is still a threat,” said Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the state Health Department. “Now that there is ample vaccine supply, it’s crucial everyone gets vaccinated as an important preventative measure. And this is a great opportunity for parents to make sure their kids under 10 get a second dose.”
