SAINT ROBERT/CROCKER, Mo. (Nov. 30, 2009) While many local schools have been administering special clinics to administer the H1N1 flu vaccine to local children, two public clinics will be held this week in Saint Robert and Crocker for essentially the entire local population over the age of 6 months. Both clinics provide free H1N1 shots regardless of income due to special public health provisions triggered by the pandemic nature of the current H1N1 influenza. The first clinic on Wednesday, Dec. 2, is at the St. Robert Community Center on Old Route 66 and runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The location is not at the St. Robert Municipal Center at 194 Eastlawn Avenue, which was incorrectly posted on some versions of the clinic announcement. The second clinic on Saturday, Dec. 5, is at the Pulaski County Health Department at 101 12th Street in Crocker from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is important to protect everyone from getting the H1N1 flu, especially those in the high risk categories since it seems they are the ones who are getting sicker if they get it, said Patty McClendon, the public health nursing supervisor for the Pulaski County Health Department.
