CLEVELAND -
The Cuyahoga County Board of Health will hold its first mass H1N1 Clinic on Sunday, at three different locations throughout the county.
This mass clinic is open to those most at risk from complications of H1N1 -- including pregnant women, caregivers of children younger than six months of age, health care and EMS workers, anyone from six months of age to 24 years and people aged 25 to 64 with compromised immune systems.
The clinics will take place Sunday from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. at: Olmsted Falls Middle School, 27045 Bagley Rd., Olmsted Township, Charles F. Brush High School, 4875 Glenlyn Rd., Lyndhurst, and Brecksville-Broadview Heights Board of Education, 6638 Mill Rd., Brecksville.
Health Commissioner Terry Allan says they hope to vaccinate 15,000 people on Sunday.
"Our goal is to do between 500 and 600 people per hour," said Allan. "We have tested this, we've done time studies, it's been drilled and practiced."
Commissioner Allan is also encouraging those in the target population to pre-register for the vaccine before arriving at the clinics on Sunday.
You can pre-register by logging onto www.ccbh.net and following the H1N1 link.
If you do not have access to a computer, county libraries have staff ready to help anyone who may want to pre-register.
You can also register on-scene at the clinics on Sunday.
