ELWOOD — The Madison County Health Department will have an H1N1 flu vaccination clinic from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday in the Elwood Community High School gym. The walk-in clinic will provide about 1,500 free inoculations.
People planning to attend the clinic are to park in the parking lot south of the high school. The Elwood Police Department and Madison County Emergency Management officials will help direct traffic into and out of the school complex. All parent drop-off and pick-up before and after school will be behind the high school and middle school.
Those going to the clinic will be required to stay in their vehicles until the clinic opens. Portable toilets will be available north of the high school tennis courts. Individuals arriving for the clinic will not be permitted into the high school prior to the beginning of the clinic. The clinic entry will be the main high school entrance.
High school students will park at the Elwood Armory. They will travel by shuttle to the high school at the start of the school day and returned to the armory at dismissal. Students from other school districts who attend the Hinds Career Center will be required to park at the athletic stadium.
The Health Department says the clinic is designed for individuals in these target populations:
- Pregnant women.
- Household contacts and caregivers of those 6 months and younger.
- Children 6 months to adults age 24.
- Health care and emergency care workers.
- People 25 year and older with pre-existing, chronic medical conditions.
The Health Department has conducted two drive-through clinics at the Madison County 4-H Fairgrounds in Alexandria and at Hoosier Park in Anderson. Officials have said another public clinic will likely be scheduled after the first of the year in the Anderson area.
