H1N1 vaccines are free and plentiful and health officials are encouraging people to get vaccines in advance of the regular flu season. Local providers of H1N1 vaccine include the health department, CVS Pharmacy on N.C. 105 and, Walgreens on Blowing Rock Road in Boone. Children six months through nine years need two doses of the vaccine, and children 10 and older and adults need one dose of the vaccine. If taking the nasal vaccine for seasonal flu and H1N1 flu, there is a four-week waiting period in between the vaccines. As of Nov. 16, 40.7 million H1N1 vaccines had been shipped, with another 7 million allocated and ready for distribution. Vaccine clinics are held during regular business hours from 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. The health department is located in the Watauga County Human Services Complex on the Poplar Grove Connector in Boone.
