Douglas County residents who want to take the H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine will have to wait a little longer, according to Cobb and Douglas Public Health officials.

“We did give about 200 or so vaccinations earlier, but we’re out of the vaccine now,” said Darlene Foote, a Cobb and Douglas spokeswoman. “We’re hoping to get more in soon, and we’re planning an H1N1 clinic when we get it in.”

She said the regular seasonal flu vaccine is still available at Douglas Public Health, but is not currently available in the mist form, only the injection.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that the limited supplies of H1N1 vaccine go first to high-risk groups, including children and young people through age 24, people caring for infants under 6 months of age, pregnant women and health care workers.

Symptoms of swine flu include fever, lethargy, loss of appetite and coughing. Some people with swine flu also report runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

The “flu shot” is an inactivated vaccine (containing killed virus) that is given with a needle. The seasonal flu shot is approved for use in people 6 months of age and older, including healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions.

The nasal-spray flu vaccine, a vaccine made with live, weakened flu viruses that do not cause the flu (sometimes called LAIV for “Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine”). LAIV is approved for use in healthy people 2-49 years of age who are not pregnant.
