It is official now. The very publicized H1N1 virus, AKA the Swine Flu, has officially hit Ventura County. A few of my childrens’ friends have tested positive for the virus. Also, a good friend of yours truly who is a nurse at St. John’s Pleasant Valley Hospital informs me that she has seen an increase in the number of young adults showing up to the hospital with the swine flu.
Recently the Ventura County Public Health Office announced that the FluMist vaccine for H1N1 virus is now available for Healthy candidates between the ages of 2-24 yeas of age. The State of California has yet to deliver the injectable form of the vaccine for other age groups.
The Public Health Office asks that before you show up for the FluMist vaccination you fill out the H1N1 Screening Form.
Remember, lines might be long so please show up early and call for FluMist availability at Ambulatory Care Clinics.
For regular updates on H1N1 vaccine availability please contact (805)-981-5390 Monday-Friday from 8:00am-5:00pm.
the H1N1 or Swine Flu virus did put our country in disarray for quite sometime, it is good to know that at least it did not cause so many deaths.
One of my sisters got infected with H1N1 or more commonly known as Swine Flu. Fortunately, she did not have very high fever and she was able to recover fast .

Janice, A few of our local friends that were diagnosed with the Swine Flu did not have a very high fever either. Glad to hear your sister was able to recover fast.
My brother got infected with H1N1 or Swine Flu in Mexico. He got a mild fever and luckily he did not die.
during the height of the H1N1 or Swine Flu epidemic, i was very afraid to get infected with this disease and i wore face mask whenever i got into heavily populated areas.
