ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The municipality of Anchorage is offering a swine flu vaccination clinic from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday at Clark Middle School for children age 9 and younger.
The clinic and others planned later this month are for children who received their first dose of H1N1 vaccine through the Anchorage School District and want to get the recommended second dose.
Guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control say it's preferable to separate the two doses by at least 28 days.
City officials say there's a potential for a high turnout and there could be a wait. They encouraged parents to bring in children's vaccination records.
City officials also said people with flu symptoms should attend a public clinic when they are free of symptoms.
