LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) –  Meanwhile, since kids under age ten are advised to get a second dose a month after the first, the Lubbock Health Department is planning a second school clinic in January to make sure school aged kids under age ten get the full protection against the swine flu.

However, if you are an adult and high risk for H1N1, but have no other means to get the shot. The Health Department is holding back some vaccines for indigent care. Just call the Health Department to see if you might qualify.
