    I am a 71 year old with heart failure and compromised lung function.
    Can I get the H1N1 flu vaccine as soon as it is available? Also, how soon can I get it?
    Also do you give the shingles shot, if so what is the cost?

  2. Linda Nulsen

    Are you offering the H1N1 flu shot and if so, when and where? What is the cost? I live in Haywood County. Can I come to your health dept.?

  3. Donna Pierce

    My daughter is 12 weeks pregnant and lives in Asheville, when can she get the H1N1 shot?
