where can I get the H1N1 vaccine for free in gwinnett county? I have been unemployed for 6 months now and struggling with bills. I want to get vaccinated so that I am physically able to continue my work search however I cannot afford to pay for the vaccine. I have contacted several places but they charge 25 for the vaccine. I have two kids age 21 & age 12 plus myself. Where can if any get the H1N1 vaccine for free?

I am 55 years old and taking Imuran (azothioprine) for auto immune hepatits. The CDC indicates I should have both the seasonal and the H1N1 shots. What is available for me?

My children, ages 7 and 10, have asthma. I have been checking the Cobb/Douglas website daily for updates on the H1N1 vaccine, and am also on a list at their pediatrician’s office should it become available there. Will any priority be given to children with asthma when the shot form of the vaccine is received? Should I bring some form of paperwork/record from their physician? I’m very concerned for my children. Both take daily medication for asthma, and become very sick with respiratory symptoms when they get just a normal cold.

I am a 32 year old mother and my husband is 28. we have a 8 month old baby. Our doctor said not to give it to her until she was 2 years old. We work around hundreds of people each day, can we get the vaccine so we dont bring it home to her.

Hi Dawn,
There has been a change in age criteria for this Saturday’s free H1N1 nasal mist. The vaccine is only available for healthy residents ages 2 to 24 years old. Previously it was announced that the vaccine would be available to those age 2-49, but it appears that they have revised the ages “based on CDC recommendations.”
