If you haven't gotten vaccinated against the H1N1 flu and would like to be, you'll have another chance.
The Allegheny County Health Department plans to hold more vaccine clinics at the health department at 3441 Forbes Avenue in Oakland.
Even after immunizing 9,000 people at local high schools last week, the health department still has 15,000 doses left to give.
The clinics will target high-priority groups – including anyone aged 6-months to 24-years-old, pregnant woman and anyone who lives with or cares for children younger than 6-months old.
Children under age 10 need two doses a month apart to get an adequate response to the vaccine.
The vaccine is available in both the nasal spray and shot forms.
Though the H1N1 flu shot clinic will be closed Thanksgiving, it will re-open on Friday from 9am until 3pm.
Next week, the clinic will be open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9am to 3pm.
They will have extended hours on Wednesday from 9am to 7 pm.
