There are more chances for people in the 13-county East Central Health District to get vaccinated against the novel influenza A H1N1 virus, the health district announced Wednesday.

The vaccinations are only for those in the priority group: pregnant women; children and young adults ages 6 months to 24 years old; adults 25 to 64 with underlying health problems such as asthma or diabetes; caregivers of an infant less than 6 months old; and health care workers.

The clinics will depend on the availability of the vaccine, and special clinics will close once the supply runs out.

Georgia has been allotted 850,400 doses of the vaccine against the new virus and has ordered 745,700 so far, with the rest being ordered by early next week, according to an e-mail from Georgia Division of Public Health spokeswoman Ravae Graham.
