The second shipment includes both injectable and nasal spray vaccine whereas the first shipment received last week was only in a nasal spray format.
The Tulsa Health Department received 7,450 doses this week. Having received vaccine in both injectable and nasal spray formulas, the scope of who can receive it can be expanded to include additional groups in the highest risk categories.
“It is important for us to do our best to reach our highest risk groups first while H1N1 vaccine remains somewhat limited,” said Reggie Ivey, Tulsa Health Department interim director. “We are optimistic that by the end of October we may have enough H1N1 vaccine in the private sector and through the Tulsa Health Department to broaden the scope to anyone who wishes to receive a H1N1 vaccine.”
