VANCE AIR FORCE BASE, OKLA. -- H1N1 vaccinations are scheduled to be provided by the Garfield County Health Department 8 a.m. to noon, Nov. 7, in the old Steven Barry's store at the Oakwood Mall, for the following groups:

- Children who are 6 months to 18 years old (children 9 years and under are required to have two shots)
- Women who are pregnant
- Custodial parents of children who are less than 6 months old
- Adults who are 19 to 64 years old with chronic health conditions
- Health care workers in direct contact with patients

This is a chance for non-active duty members to receive the H1N1 shot since they will have to receive the vaccination through off-base channels. Active duty members will be given the H1N1 vaccination at the base clinic when the 71st Medical Group gets their shipment.
