H1N1 Vaccine Chart

The Rhode Island Department of Health will be receiving shipments of H1N1 vaccine beginning in October and continuing throughout this flu season. In total, CDC indicates that Rhode Island is estimated to receive more than 600,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine by the end of influenza season. Our goal is to vaccinate as many children and pregnant women first because they are two of the most vulnerable populations. HEALTH has planned for different populations to receive H1N1 vaccinations in specific locations. We urge Rhode Islanders to go to those locations for vaccination so that the most people can be vaccinated in the least amount of time.Based on the type and timing of vaccine deliveries from the federal government, the infromation below may change.
