Monday's clinic will also be open to children older than 6 months but not yet in school who are unable to access vaccine through private providers.

Those at high-risk include:

• Pregnant women
• Caregivers of infants under six month of age
• Health care professionals
• Children and young adults to age 24
• Adults 19-64 with underlying health conditions like asthma, diabetes or neuromuscular disease

Appointments must be made prior to showing up at the clinics. For more information and directions, call 781-5500.

Vaccines from the batch are also being distributed to schools and emergency medical services personnel.
