It was the first time the H1N1 vaccine was offered to the public outside of a school setting.

Children five years of age or younger were invited to the Health Department offices Dec. 1 to get the vaccination.

Brenda Webb was their with her granddaughter. She said her pediatrician wasn't going to be able to offer the vaccine until later in December.

They had also been to a clinic in Wood County but weren't able to get the vaccine.

So when she heard that the Jackson County health department was offering a clinic Tuesday she jumped at the opportunity.

But she says deciding whether or not to get the vaccine wasn't something her family took lightly.

"We've seen children die from the swine flu but we haven't seen any complications from the vaccine so we are gonna get the vaccine," Webb said.

More clinics are planned throughout the week.

Parents and guardians of children 6-months of age or younger can get vaccinated on Wednesday, Dec. 2, from 1 to 3 p.m.

On Friday, Dec. 4, those between the ages of 18 and 42, with high risk medical conditions, can receive the vaccine from 8 to 11 a.m.

People between the age of 45 and 64 can get the vaccine from 1 to 3:30 p.m., also on Dec. 4.
