2009 H1N1 FluMist Vaccinations
The Baltimore City Health Department will begin giving 2009 H1N1 FluMist vaccinations free of charge to healthy Baltimore City children ages 2 years to 24 years on Thursday, Oct. 15, at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, located at 1400 W. Cold Spring Lane. The clinic will be open from noon until 8:00 p.m.
FluMist vaccine will be provided to city residents ONLY on a first-come, first-serve basis. Parents/Guardians should bring proof of age (birth certificate or school id), and residency (eg. driver's license, state ID, or a recent power/phone/cable monthly statement). Children under 18 years must be accompanied by a parent/guardian who can give written consent. Children with chronic health conditions such as asthma or diabetes, and younger children 6-23 months old cannot receive FluMist. However, these children should receive the H1N1 flu shot once it becomes available.
