Area flu-shot supply dwindling fast



Public health officials are urging all doctor offices and other private providers who may still have doses to administer them only to people who fall into high-risk categories.

Those include children 6 to 23 months, adults over 65, nursing home residents, pregnant women, people 2 to 64 with chronic medical conditions, children 6 months to 18 years on chronic aspirin therapy, health-care workers involved in direct patient care and out-of-home caregivers and household contacts of children less than 6 months old.

Here's the latest on Greater Cincinnati flu-shot clinics:

• The Cincinnati Health Department Saturday still had "limited supplies" of flu shots at its Elm Street, Northside, Price Hill and Millvale clinics, but had run out Friday at its Corryville headquarters and at a clinic in Madisonville. The department has stopped taking reservations for flu-shot clinics at 19 senior centers.

• In Northern Kentucky, reservations for flu shots to be given in late October ran out Friday in about four hours. The Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department serves four counties: Boone, Campbell, Grant and Kenton.

• The Butler County Health Department has temporarily run out of flu vaccine but is scheduled to receive another shipment at the end of the month. Health officials will publicize when more is available. Also check www.butlercountyohio.org/health.

• Clermont County has nine clinics scheduled this fall. Shots will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. The first is 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at Felicity Social Center, 2002 Main St. (513) 536-4026.

• Warren County has clinics for high-risk patients from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m. Tuesday and 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Thursday. The health department is at 416 S. East St., Lebanon. (513) 695-1464.

• Several organizations that traditionally offer flu shots already have canceled or run out of doses. On Friday and Saturday, the Visiting Nurse Association and Costco issued statements saying they had no vaccine available.
