Sacramento County cancels two flu clinics

H1N1 vaccination clinics scheduled for today and Saturday by the Sacramento County health department have been canceled due to weather and a lack of parking at the planned sites.

A forecast today for blustery rain prompted health officials to cancel the clinic at the Samuel Pannell Community Center in Meadowview.

"Our foremost concern is for the safety of the public," said County health officer Glennah Trochet.

"(Today's) forecast calls for soaking rain and gusty winds, which would make the outdoor wait for flu shots miserable and unsafe on slippery sidewalks."

And since the county's first clinics this week spawned big crowds – and accompanying parking problems – a clinic planned for Saturday at the Town and Country Lutheran Church in Arden Arcade was canceled because of too few parking spaces.

The clinic at the Pannell center likely will be rescheduled in the future when skies are clear, said the health department's Kerry Shearer.

"We might well be back at the Pannell center, perhaps at a time when there are no other events scheduled and at a time when we are pretty confident the weather will be good," Shearer said.

"We are trying to spread the clinics out all around the county so people can get to them easily."

Updates to the H1N1 vaccination clinic schedule will be posted at www.SCPH.com.
