574,200 more H1N1 flu vaccine doses on the way
The Ohio Department of Health ordered another 574,200 doses of H1N1 flu vaccine. The doses are expected to be shipped directly to 1,200 medical providers in all 88 counties.
So far, Ohio has ordered 3.25 million doses.
Now, instead of just priority groups being eligible, all Ohioans are able to receive H1N1 vaccinations.
H1N1 and seasonal flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache and chills, according to the Ohio Department of Health. Some people, particularly children, also experience diarrhea and vomiting. Anyone with these symptoms should stay home from school or work and if symptoms become severe or you are pregnant or suffer from chronic medical conditions, seek medical attention immediately.
The state health department operates an H1N1 information line 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at (866)800-1404.
