Beginning Tuesday, people who qualify can make appointments for the next two free vaccination clinics.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the health department only had a few hundred spots left, all of them are for next weekend.
This Saturday's appointment clinic is already booked up.
Here's who qualifies: Healthy people between the ages of 2 and 24, and healthy people between the ages of 25 and 49, if they're a health care worker or caring for an infant under six months, including parents.
Remember, pregnant women do not qualify for the nasal spray vaccine.
To schedule an appointment for you or your children, call 509-324-1648 Tuesday or Wednesday beginning at 9:00 a.m. The appointments are for clinics this Saturday and next Saturday (Nov. 7 & Nov. 14).

"Here's who qualifies: Healthy people between the ages of 2 and 24, and healthy people between the ages of 25 and 49" Shouldn't it just say "Healthy people between the ages of 2 and 49"???? The way this reads people between the ages of 24 and 25 do NOT qualify, what would the age between 24 and 25 be anyway?

It seems that in most if the cases where someone has died from the H1N1 flu, it says they had underlying medical conditions. It would be nice to know what some of those conditions were.
