2009 H1N1 Vaccine: Where to Get Vaccinated Vaccine is now available for all Idahoans throughout the state, with public health officials encouraging everyone to get vaccinated before the holidays. Parents of children nine years old and younger are reminded that their children need two doses of vaccine administered approximately four weeks apart.   For people who think they were already sick from the flu, you are still recommended to get the vaccine unless you had confirmed laboratory test outside of your doctor’s office. Other viruses are circulating that cause similar symptoms. Vaccination of a person with some existing immunity to the 2009 H1N1 virus will not be harmful.  To find a location where you can be vaccinated, please visit the website links on the right for your local Public Health District or contact them by telephone (or click on the map below.) Many other community settings might offer H1N1 vaccinations when there is sufficient vaccine supply, such as doctor’s offices or pharmacies. Please check with your local Public Health District for further information and additional locations.   If you need additional assistance, please call the Idaho CareLine at 2-1-1.

Idaho does not mandate vaccinations. Persons for whom vaccine is recommended can choose whether or not to get vaccinated or to vaccinate their children. Requirements for active duty military and other uniformed service members might differ.
