SALT LAKE COUNTY -- The Salt Lake Valley Health Department will hold a mass flu shot clinic Saturday, giving out 7,000 doses of the H1N1 vaccine to priority groups.
The four mass clinics will run from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. or until the 7,000 doses are gone.
In preparation for the upcoming mass vaccination clinics, SLVHD will suspend H1N1 vaccination operations at their four clinics Thursday, October 22nd and Friday, October 23rd.
For Saturday's clinics, SLVHD is expanding eligibility and will administer doses of the injectable vaccine to:

- People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age
- Healthcare or emergency medical personnel
- Children age 6 months to 24 years of age
- Those under the age of 64 with chronic medical conditions associated with higher risk of medical problems from influenza
The health department has depleted its supply of the nasal spray vaccine but anticipates more in the coming weeks. Only the injectable vaccine will be available at Saturday's mass vaccination clinics.
