Platte Valley Medical Center (PVMC) announced today that its Pediatric vaccine in Pre-Filled Syringes is not on the government recall list. PVMC received its shipment of vaccine directly from the Tri-County Health Department (THCD). In a THCD Health Alert, dated December 16, PVMC received confirmation that ‘any provider who received vaccine directly from TCHD did not receive any of the recalled products.’

If you have a child from six months to nine years of age who has received their first pediatric dose of vaccine, it is strongly recommended that they come back for their booster between three-to-four weeks of their first dose.

The next H1N1 vaccination clinic at Platte Valley Medical Center is tomorrow, December 17, 2009, from 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. This is PVMC’s first H1N1 clinic open to the general public.
