SAN DIEGO COUNTY–The San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) will hold five more H1N1 vaccination events for San Diego County residents in the upcoming weeks.

“We’ve had great response to our H1N1 vaccination events, but we know there are still people out there that haven’t been vaccinated and we want to reach those individuals,” said Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H, San Diego County Public Health Officer. “It’s not too late to get vaccinated against H1N1. We encourage everyone to get vaccinated to protect themselves and their loved ones.”
