MADISON, Wis. -- Twelve area Emergency Medical Services agencies will be hosting special H1N1 vaccination clinics on Saturday.

These free clinics are for people at high risk for getting the H1N1 flu virus and developing complications.

The clinics will be open from 8 a.m. until noon, unless the vaccine supplies run out earlier.

These clinics are specifically for those in the original H1N1 immunization target groups: pregnant women; household contacts or caregivers of children younger than 6 months of age; health care or emergency medical services personnel; children and young adults ages 6 months through 24 years; and persons aged 25 through 64 who have underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk of medical complications from influenza.

Immunizations are free and on a first come, first serve basis. Doors will open at 8 a.m. Immunizations will be given until noon, unless vaccine supplies run out earlier. Each location will have 500 doses of vaccine. If vaccine supplies run out early, the clinic closing will be posted on this Web site. It is suggested that those with Web access check that Web site or call United Way 211 before they leave home to see if the site they are going to has closed early.

Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. A clinic consent form is available in English, Spanish and Hmong and is posted on this Web site.

People are encouraged to download and fill out the consent form and bring it with them to the clinic. This will help to make the process go faster. Forms will also be available at the clinics.

Emergency Medical Technicians from Belleville, Blooming Grove/Burke/Maple Bluff, Cambridge, Deer-Grove (Deerfield/Cottage Grove), District 1 (Black Earth/Mazomanie), Fitch-Rona (Fitchburg/Verona), Marshall, McFarland, Oregon, Stoughton, Town of Madison, and Waunakee are participating. These clinics are held in collaboration with Public Health - Madison and Dane County, Dane County Emergency Management-Emergency Medical Services and Home Health United.
