State residents who are in the priority groups to receive the H1N1 flu vaccine can make appointments to get the vaccine at state health centers.

A limited supply of vaccine will be offered today through Thursday.

Appointments can be made, 24 hours a day, at www.H1N1inPA.com under "What's Hot." People without Internet access can call 1-877-724-3258 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Most of the vaccine available at the state health centers will be live flu vaccine in a nasal mist. The mist can be used in healthy persons between 2 and 49 years old. High-priority groups that may qualify are healthy people from 2 to 24 years old; household contacts and caregivers for children younger than 6 months and most health-care providers and emergency medical services personnel.

It is not recommended for people in the high-priority groups of pregnant women, children under 2, those with certain underlying health conditions and health-care providers who care for people with impaired immune systems. Those groups should receive the injectable vaccine.

Allegheny County Health Department will continue to offer vaccine to high-priority people, without appointments, at the Oakland vaccination clinic, 3441 Forbes Ave. It is open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today, Thursday and Friday, and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. tomorrow.
