The Virginia Beach Department of Public Health (VBDPH) has extended its flu vaccination clinic for Virginia Beach residents at its location at 4452 Corporation Lane on Thursday, Oct. 29 until 8 p.m. VBDPH nurses will only administer H1N1 nasal mist vaccines this evening.

Individuals must meet certain criteria to receive the nasal vaccine. They must be healthy with no underlying medical conditions, between the ages of 2 and 49 years old, and not have received a seasonal flu shot within the last 28 days.

Vaccine supply is limited. Individuals will receive vaccine on a first-come, first-served basis.

The VBDPH ended today’s vaccination clinic early this afternoon because it was out of vaccine. It received a shipment of H1N1 nasal mist vaccine late today, and thus, decided to reopen the clinic until 8 p.m.

The latest local H1N1 information can be found at www.HealthyVB.com. Times and dates of VBDPH vaccination clinics will be updated regularly. Additional information can be found at www.flu.gov.

Individuals with questions pertaining to the vaccination clinics can call the VBDPH at 518-2700 weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.
