Coverage of the South Milwaukee Flu Clinic

Today’s TMJ4 stopped by the South Milwaukee H1N1 clinic on Wednesday, and reporter Jay Olstad filed this report.

South Milwaukee Gets Its First Shot at Swine Flu Vaccines

Lines were indeed long early, but by the time my mother took my 4-year-old son for his nasal vaccine at about 11:15 a.m., there was no wait.

Thanks again to our Health Department and others for putting this on. It’s a big undertaking, and it was a long day (and night before setting up) for all involved. We should all be grateful for the dedication of this department in keeping our residents healthy.

I’ll keep you posted on any upcoming clinics. You can also call 211 to learn more about vaccination opportunities, or log on to www.wisconsinfluclinic.info for a Flu Clinic Locator tool. And check out this document from the Health Department with more information on H1N1.
