H1N1 Flu
All people older than 6 months are now eligible to receive the H1N1 vaccination. Although reports of flu are decreasing, infection rates are still higher than normal for this time of the year. Flu activity may continue for several weeks, and other waves of influenza may occur well into 2010.

If you would like to receive the H1N1 vaccination, please first contact your own health care provider. Over 95% of vaccine received in Boulder County is distributed to health care providers in the community.

Boulder County Public Health (BCPH) will provide the vaccine to eligible people who:

  • Do not have a health care provider
  • Have a health care provider who has not registered to provide the vaccine

To make an appointment to receive the H1N1 vaccination at a Boulder County Public Health immunization clinic, call the CO Help Information Line at 303.441.1450.

Vaccinations are also being offered at community walk-in flu clinics and pharmacies. Please visit www.ImmunizeColorado.com to find a location near you.

What is novel H1N1 (swine flu)?
Novel H1N1 (referred to as “swine flu” early on) is a new influenza virus causing illness in people. This new virus was first detected in people in the United States in April 2009. This virus is spreading from person to person worldwide, probably in much the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread. On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) signaled that a pandemic of novel H1N1 flu was underway.
