Novel H1N1 (swine) Influenza

Flu Hotline at 321-2222 or 1-800-962-2343

Points of Dispensing (POD) Locations & Dates

Beginning Monday November 23rd CDHD will hold public Point of Dispensing (POD) H1N1 Flu Clinics every Monday from 3:00 - 7:00 pm at the former Comp USA store. These clinics are open to the public fitting into the Priority Groups.

Priority Groups include:

  • Pregnant women
  • People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age
  • Healthcare and emergency medical services
  • People between the ages of 6 months and 24 years old
  • People 25 through 64 years of age with chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems.

We want to hear from you. Tell us what would work best for you and your family. Call the Flu Hotline (321-2222) Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and share your thoughts on how we could better serve you.

The McCall and Mountain Home offices of CDHD are holding by-appointment-only H1N1 flu vaccination clinics. Please call those offices to make an appointment.

Teams of nurses are continuing to vaccinate students in the Mountain Home and Kuna school districts. In the near future we hope to expand the school-based vaccination program to pick up where we left off in the Boise and Meridian school district. We also intend to work with private and charter schools with 50 or more students to provide school-based vaccination plans. All school vaccination programs depend on vaccine availability.

To date CDHD has administered more than 20,000 doses of H1N1 flu vaccine, and has sent over 18,000 doses to doctors' offices, Mountain Home Air Force Base and Boise State University, among others.

Once a good percentage of the priority group members have been immunized, CDHD will make the H1N1 flu vaccine more widely available to the public through private providers and special flu clinics at its offices in Boise, Mountain Home and McCall.
