Check daily with **ALL** the local pharmacies. They have been getting small amounts of vaccine but are not advertising it widely. You have to ask! Last week Walgreen's had it and Target has had it twice now. My two older children received H1N1 vaccine last Thurs. at Target with NO WAITING. Walgreen's charges $18 and Target $15. They won't vaccinate children under the age of 10 though.
To answer your questions: During the H1N1 clinics run by the health dept there is a form to fill out. If you have an underlying medical condition such as diabetes, or anything making your immune system less than optimal, you ARE eligible to get the vaccine. If you go to the health dept clinics, you will not be turned down or turned away unless they run out of vaccine. Your medical conditions make you eligible. There is a clinic on Thurs at the Hangar in Fountain starting at 10...
The flu shot is a scam. I'll never get one. It's just another way for the government to control us.
