Currently, the demand for H1N1 vaccine is outweighing local and national supply. As a result, vaccine clinics may close earlier than expected.
If you are NOT in an H1N1 Priority Group, please wait to get vaccinated until supplies increase. More H1N1 vaccine will be available in the next several days and weeks at some chain pharmacies, private health care providers, and community clinics.

A message from Jonathan E. Fielding, MD, MPH
Director of
Public Health and Health Officer
The demand for H1N1 vaccine in Los Angeles County
continues to be high. While I am encouraged that so many
residents in Los Angeles County are taking proactive
measures to protect their health and the health of their
loved ones, I share your concern that supplies of H1N1
vaccine have not been as plentiful as expected. You have
been patient, both in standing in long lines at vaccine
clinics, and in waiting for H1N1 to become more widely
available, and I thank you for your patience.
If you are in one of the H1N1 priority groups and plan
to visit one of Public Health’s vaccine clinics, please
come prepared to wait in line. If you have a private
provider, please check whether they have vaccine before
deciding to attend a Public Health vaccine clinic. We
are trying to get all eligible individuals through the
vaccine clinic as quickly as possible, but, as seen on
the news, many people line up well before a vaccine
clinic opens and may experience wait times that take
several hours. Unfortunately, lines at vaccine clinics
will most likely be outdoors. While there are staff that
monitor the lines for those that have difficulty
standing for long periods of time, individuals are
encouraged to bring their own water, food, umbrella or
hat, sunscreen, and possibly a folding chair or other
item to sit on. Parents are encouraged to bring toys or
games for their children. If you are sick, stay home.
