FLU ALERT: Mark A.R. Cooper, director of health for the Westport Weston Health District (WWHD), announced Thursday morning, Nov. 5, that due to the overwhelming turnout by the public at the WWHD's Nov. 4 H1N1 flu clinic, the WWHD has insufficient inventory of H1N1 flu vaccine to hold the clinic that had been scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 10. Therefore, the Nov. 10 H1N1  flu clinic has been canceled until additional vaccine can be procured.

The state of Connecticut has advised the Westport Weston Health District not to expect additional supplies for next 10 days.

The WWHD will continue to provide updates and recommendations as it monitors the availability of H1N1 flu vaccine and encourages the public to visit the Health District’s web page at www.WWHD.org for current information about the availability of vaccine and clinic scheduling.
