Durham -- On Jan. 9, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., the Durham County Health Department will take its H1N1 walk-in clinic to several schools throughout Durham.

The Health Department also will continue to hold H1N1 Clinics for appointment holders on Tuesdays and Thursdays in January at the Health Department. To make an appointment, people should call 919-560-7882.

According to Durham County Health Director Gayle Harris, the school site H1N1 clinics, held in partnership with Duke University Health System, should attract many residents because the clinics will be held on the weekend and make it easier for people to access the locations situated in the heart of several Durham neighborhoods.

"Traditionally, our clinics are held during the week," said Harris. "These clinics give busy families the opportunity to get everyone vaccinated right in their back yards."

The upcoming school site clinics will be held at Hillside High School, 3727 Fayetteville Road; Riverside High, 3218 Rose of Sharon Road; and Neal Middle School, 201 Baptist Road. Anyone can receive the H1N1 vaccination at one of the three clinic locations, except for children under 6 months of age. The vaccination is free of charge.
