As more doses of the H1N1 vaccine become available, the City-County Health Department is offering it to more people in the area.

More than one-hundred people waited in line at Montana ExpoPark to get a free immunization.
Monday afternoon, the Health Department offered 1,000 doses of the nasal spray vaccine to healthy individuals ages two to 24. This was the first opportunity for healthy people over 18 to get vaccinated against the Swine Flu.

Children under nine who need a second dose of the vaccine can get them at the next scheduled clinic on December 3rd. Patients must wait at least one month between doses.
