Davis County residents can pick up tickets Monday, Nov. 9, for H1N1 vaccinations, as long as the residents fit the prescribed priority categories.

Tickets for specific dates and times will be handed out from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Bountiful Regional Center, 835 N. 400 East, North Salt Lake, and at the Legacy Events Center, 151 S. 1100 West, Farmington.

Adults may pick up tickets for eligible family members in their immediate household only. Those eligible are ages 6 months to 24 years; pregnant women; caregivers for children younger than 6 months old; health-care or emergency-services workers; and those age 25 to 64 with chronic health conditions.

Vaccinations for those with tickets will be given Nov. 12 from 4 to 8 p.m., and Nov. 13 and Nov. 14 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bountiful Regional Center. A total of 6,000 vaccinations will be offered over the three-day period, at 2,000 doses per day.

About 1,100 of those are the nasal FluMist, and the others are the regular vaccine, according to Bob Ballew, public-information officer for the Davis County Health Department.

Children who have already been vaccinated once and need a second vaccination should wait for at least 28 days to get the maximum immunity, Ballew said. A total of 150,000 doses will ultimately be needed to serve county residents, but only 15,000 doses have been distributed to date.

The vaccine will be offered to the general population only after those at higher risk have been vaccinated.
