Priority groups eligible to receive vaccine at these clinics include pregnant women, children and young adults ages 6 months through 24 years, adults ages 25 through 64 with a chronic health condition or lowered immunity, household members and caregivers of children less than 6 months of age, health care workers and EMS providers with direct patient contact.
