During the month of October 2009, the Corpus Christi-Nueces County Public Health District made the H1N1 Flu vaccine available on a limited basis at the Sunrise Mall. At the present time due to lack of vaccine supply and until we receive more vaccine, we are only serving as a safety net for private doctors. We will continue "nasal mist" H1N1 vaccination clinics at Sunrise Mall as they become available to the Health District.
We have not yet received an adequate supply to begin community wide vaccination. The public is asked to continue to check here for the latest updates on when the community wide vaccination H1N1 Clinics are expected to begin.
The H1N1 (Swine) flu vaccine is subject to availability.
Swine Flu Update
The Corpus Christi-Nueces County Public Health District continues to monitor and investigate the H1N1 Flu Virus (referred to as "Swine Flu" initially) activity in Nueces County. Keeping the community informed is a top priority for health officials and public health staff.
The Health District is advising Nueces County residents to continue to do what they can to prevent the spread of the H1N1 Flu Virus.
The Corpus Christi-Nueces County Public Health District would like to thank the residents of Corpus Christi and surrounding cities in Nueces County for their patience and understanding as we continue to deal with the H1N1 (Swine) Flu Virus. We are working diligently to prevent the spread of illnesses in Nueces County, while continuing to provide our regular services to residents. Please be aware there may be some temporary interruptions in these services in order for Health District staff to respond to immediate needs, such as administering vaccinations for Nueces County residents.
Due to recent changes in reporting requirements by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Health District will no longer be reporting the number of confirmed cases of H1N1 (Swine) Flu.
Surveillance requirements will be death investigations only, which we will continue to report.
As of the week of November 9, 2009, CDC H1N1 deaths reporting has reverted back to tracking the number of H1N1 death investigations since the beginning of the outbreak. The first H1N1 death in Nueces County was reported in May 2009.
