H1N1 Update - 10/21

Fellow Patients of OBGYN North,

We just wanted to let you know that we still have not received the H1N1 vaccine as of today 10/21. We ordered it back on 10/9 and we are still awaiting shipment please continue to check back for updates.

When we do receive the vaccine you may call (512) 425-3825 and schedule a time to come in a get the vaccine. We are only providing the vaccine to our "PREGNANT PATIENTS" at that time. Thank you for your understanding.

The Staff at OBGYN North.


Update From the CDC -

Thank you for your work and your patience in the state-wide effort to mitigate the effect of H1N1 influenza in Texas. As you know, H1N1 vaccine supplies allocated to Texas in early October were less than anticipated. The Department of State Health Services (DSHS) is distributing vaccine according to the recommendations of theCDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), however there is insufficient supply at this time to vaccinate all members of the priority groups.

High Priorities:

Initial vaccine has been targeted to pregnant women, children 24-59 months, high-risk children 5-18 years old, and the health care workers who serve these populations. Small quantities of vaccine were also sent to local healthdepartments and DSHS Health Service Regions (HSRs) to serve as a safety-net. We expect allocations in the next few weeks to continue to be focused on healthcare workers, pediatric populations, and pregnant women as well as close contacts of children less than 6 years old.
