Local physicians and clinics report administering varying amounts of flu immunizations and many are still receiving doses of the H1N1 vaccination.
Amiee Fulk, public relations coordinator for Banner Churchill Community Hospital, said the hospital staff have given out approximately 850 regular flu immunizations and 100 H1N1 immunizations, specifically to health care providers and first responders. She said fewer than 50 doses of Tamiflu have been given out to patients.
The Churchill County community health nurse gave out 421 H1N1 immunizations, said Ben Kieckhefer, public information officer for the Nevada Department of Human Health Services.
Dr. Lana Narag of the Narag Fallon Family Clinic said her clinic has administered approximately 300 regular flu immunizations and 345 H1N1 immunizations. Narag said she wasn't sure how much Tamiflu has been given out, but it was a lot.
Walgreens spokesman Robert Elfinger said the local Fallon Walgreens received 200 H1N1 doses to administer, and nationwide, the drugstore chain has given out over 5 million regular flu immunizations and offers liquid Tamiflu. Elfinger said a new shipment of H1N1 vaccine will be administered beginning Friday.
Spokesmen for these locations said no one has reported adverse reactions to the H1N1 vaccine.
