Free H1N1 vaccinations available at Tri-County Health Department offices
More than 6,000 free H1N1 vaccinations were given at the six flu clinics hosted by School District 27J in November and December. Tri-County Health Department is now encouraging all residents to get the H1N1 vaccine. No more school-based clinics are planned, but residents of Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas Counties can get free H1N1 vaccinations by appointment by calling 303-451-0123. Tri-County Health is offering vaccination appointments at their Aurora, Castle Rock, Englewood and Northglenn offices. Check the Tri-County website, www.tchd.org, for more information.
