Montgomery County has scheduled a swine flu vaccination clinic Dec. 20 at Montgomery College's Rockville Campus.
About 5,000 vaccines will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Those hoping to be vaccinated will receive a ticket when they arrive.
The clinic will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 51 Mannakee St. and will target people in high-risk groups. Those include: children and young adults ages 6 months to 24 years, pregnant women, adults 25 to 64 years with chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, HIV/AIDS or cancer, adults who are caretakers of infants younger than 6 months of age, and health care and emergency medical services workers.
Free nasal spray and injectable vaccine will be available, according to a news release.
The clinic will be at the Physical Education Center, on the North Campus Drive side of the Rockville campus. The waiting line will be partially outdoors, and residents should plan accordingly.
The county also has scheduled three clinics at which free swine flu vaccinations will be available by appointment only, said spokeswoman Mary Anderson. The location for the clinics will be given when an appointment is made.
The first clinic will be Monday, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., in Silver Spring. Call on Friday from 3 to 4 p.m. for appointments (240-777-4040).
