This in from Julianne Klimetz, a Waukesha County public information officer:

Waukesha County Public Health Division has administered all H1N1 vaccine available over the course of two clinics held on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon.  Clinics will be cancelled indefinitely until additional shipments of vaccine are received.

The clinics scheduled for Thursday are canceled.

The Division of Public Health expects additional shipments of the intranasal vaccine as well as the injectable vaccine to be available in the coming weeks and will announce clinics to administer the vaccine once the shipment has arrived.

According to new information from the state of Wisconsin, those targeted to receive the H1N1 vaccine include:

• Health care and emergency medical personnel who have direct contact with patients or infectious material
• Pregnant women
• Children age 6 months to 4 years
• Persons who live with or provide care for infants age 6 months or younger, such as parents, siblings, daycare providers
• Children and adolescents age 5 to 18 years who have medical conditions that put them at higher risk for influenza-related complications
