For Westmounters worried by recent media reports about rapidly spreading cases of swine flu, Santé Montréal announced this week that an additional vaccination centre against the H1N1 flu virus will be open in Alexis Nihon Plaza, 1500 Atwater Ave., beginning tomorrow, Nov. 6, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
It should be noted that the first period of vaccination is intended for parents of infants up to six months of age, for persons with a weakened immune system who are able to receive the vaccine, and for the family members of individuals whose immune system is weakened and cannot receive the vaccine.
