Colorado urgent care provider, AfterOurs Urgent Care, will receive its first shipment of influenza AB vaccination, for patients over 18 years of age, tomorrow. While vaccinations for persons under 18 won'st be available for another 10 to 14 days, health care providers are recommending that adults receive their vaccination now.
Though we usually don'st receive the influenza vaccination this early in the year, we'sre glad to have it. We'sre already treating patients positive for influenza, and many of our
patients are reporting severe symptoms, said Chris Rehm, Executive Director of AfterOurs Urgent Care. While we don'st yet have the flu vaccination for pediatric use, we'sre able to
provide shots to patients over 18 years of age. For families with children and young adults, we recommend that adult family members receive their shot now, rather than waiting for the
pediatric shot to become available. That should help reduce the incidence of flu in the home.
While only the influenza AB vaccination is currently available in Colorado, AfterOurs Urgent Care is on the State of Colorado'ss waiting list to receive the H1N1 vaccination. The state
health department will distribute the H1N1 vaccination based upon several factors, including a health care provider'ss hours, and accessibility of care to persons at risk for contracting
H1N1. AfterOurs is waiting to hear whether or not the state will select any of its clinics for H1N1 distribution.
