Cover your nose with a tissue when sneezing or coughing. Visit www.cdc.gov/h1n1 for more information.

The Henrico County Health Department will be providing H1N1 vaccine to Henrico residents.Limited doses of vaccine are available to pregnant women by appointment only.  Please call (804) 501-4151 to check on clinic times and vaccine availability.

Henrico Health District will be holding Free H1N1 vaccination clinics as we continue to get vaccine.  Right now, we are immunizing persons in the following priority groups:

  • Children and Adults aged 6 months to 24 years of age
  • Health care workers & emergency medical workers
  • Adults aged 25 through 64 with underlying chronic health conditions (heart disease, lung disease, asthma, kidney disease, liver disease, metabolic disease such as diabetes, anemia and other blood disorders)
  • People who live with or care for children less than 6 months of age.
  • Pregnant women

Participating private medical providers have received shipments of vaccine.  Please contact your physician to see if they have received vaccine to provide to their patients.

Current Vaccination Efforts

Henrico Health District is currently working with Henrico County Public Schools to vaccinate our school-aged population during in-school vaccination clinics. These events will be scheduled as vaccine arrives at the Health Department from the manufacturers. Parents of school children will be notified 1-2 days prior to the clinic in their child’s school.

Upcoming Vaccination Clinics

Henrico Health District will not be conducting any H1N1 Vaccination Clinics for the public this week due to a shortage of vaccine.  When another clinic is scheduled it will be posted here on this webpage.  Please check back.
