The H1N1 Clinics that were supposed to be at local area schools this weekend have been cancelled due to vaccine production delays. Updated information can be found on the Fairfax County Government website or below.

Due to delays in the production of 2009 H1N1 vaccine, the Fairfax County Health Department is adjusting its mass vaccination plans to match the limited supply of vaccine currently available, which is significantly less than anticipated.
We currently do not have enough vaccine available to hold the vaccination clinics that were scheduled to be held in 10 Fairfax County Public Schools on Oct. 24 and 25.
Instead, the amount of vaccine currently available will be distributed as follows:
- Children (age range to be defined later this week) and pregnant women
- Saturday, Oct. 24
- Fairfax County Government Center, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax
The 2009 H1N1 vaccine will be voluntary and available on a walk in basis, free of charge.
The delay in distribution of 2009 H1N1 vaccine has impacted the entire nation and has resulted in uneven availability. In the coming weeks, more vaccine is expected to be delivered to health care providers, hospitals, and local health departments. Residents may check with their heath care providers about the availability of 2009 H1N1 vaccine.
The Health Department is committed to vaccinating target populations as quickly as vaccine becomes available. Depending on the quantities of vaccine available each week, vaccine will be distributed through the Health Department’s district offices or mass vaccination clinics. Updated information about the availability and distribution of 2009 H1N1 vaccine will be posted on this Web page.
Residents with additional questions about vaccine availability in Fairfax County may call the Health Department at 703-267-3511.
