All children under age 10 need two doses, given a minimum of 28 days apart, for full protection. Currently we only have enough vaccine supply to offer boosters for those under 3 years old. If your child is 6-35 months of age, you can call and schedule an appointment at any time to receive their first or second dose of the H1N1 vaccine.
We will not be automatically contacting you for this, so you do need to call if your child is due for a booster.
For older kids, we are still utilizing the e-mail waiting list, which you can access by e-mailing vaccinations@forestlanepediatrics.com .
If you would prefer not to wait on availability here at Forest Lane Pediatrics, the Dallas County Health Department is now offering the 2009 H1N1 Vaccine to any county resident, regardless of risk group status. The Health Department is dispensing H1N1 doses from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at its three walk-in clinics:
