Seasonal Flu Vaccine:
The Oswego County Health Department will hold seasonal flu clinics on Tuesday, Nov. 24, and Tuesday, Dec. 1. Flu vaccine will be given by appointment only to adults ages 19 and over. To schedule an appointment, call 349-3547 or visit https://www.onflu.net/oswego/
Check with your regular health care provider to see if he/she will offer their patients the seasonal flu vaccine. There may also be other sources of seasonal flu vaccine available locally, such as pharmacies and other retail outlets.

H1N1 Flu Vaccine:
NOTE: H1N1 vaccine will begin to be generally available to persons in priority groups beginning the first week of November and to the general public in December. But not everyone will be able to get vaccinated at once. Please be patient. Vaccinations will continue through November and December. It's never too late to get vaccinated!

Oswego County Health Department DOES plan to hold immunization clinics to administer H1N1 flu vaccine. We will take phone calls Thursday or Friday, November 19 and 20, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., or until all appointments are filled, for clinics taking place in the next several weeks.

H1N1 vaccine will not be delivered all at once, so your patience is appreciated. Clinics will be scheduled once we have sufficient vaccine available. Check this website frequently for future clinic dates and locations.
At this time, individuals in the following priority groups are recommended to receive the H1N1 flu vaccine:
- Pregnant women
- Household contacts and caregivers for children younger than 6 months of age
- Health care and emergency medical services workers
- All people from 6 months through 24 years of age
- Persons aged 25 through 64 years who have health conditions associated with higher risk of serious illness and medical complications from the flu.
Once individuals in these priority groups have had a chance to get vaccinated, H1N1 flu vaccine will be available to everyone who wants it.
