H1N1 and Seasonal Flu Information

For Patients and the Public

I feel sick. / Me siento mal.

Should I come in?

DeberÍa hacer una cita?

By now nearly everyone's heard of H1N1 influenza (sometimes called "swine flu"). H1N1's gotten a lot of media attention, but not all the stories have been useful.

We've made this page to help you understand what H1N1 is (and isn't), and to give you treatment options in case you or a family member gets sick.

It's important to remember that if you're in good health, and have no underlying medical conditions, coming down with H1N1 isn't much different than getting the seasonal flu.

Vaccinations

  • Seasonal flu vaccinations are now available. Schedule a vaccination appointment at one of our family medicine clinics.
  • H1N1 vaccinations will be available soon. Due to supply shortages, however, we don't yet have firm arrival dates. We will update this site as soon as vaccine supplies are distributed to our clinics, so check back regularly for updated information.
