The Sedgwick County Health Department has received more H1N1 vaccine, in both the injection and nasal spray versions, and will begin offering the injections on Thursday.

That means the Health Department also is expanding the groups eligible for the vaccine.

Beginning Thursday, the clinic at 4031 E. Harry will be open to people in one of these groups:

* Pregnant women

* Health care workers

* Caregivers of and those who share households with infants younger than 6 months of age.

* Children age 6 months to 4 years old.

* Children 5 to 18 who have underlying chronic medical conditions.

The clinic will be open until 7 p.m. today, but only nasal spray vaccine is available. It can be given to healthy people ages 2 to 49 if they are health care workers, between ages 2 and 4 or household contacts or caregivers for infants 6 months older or younger.

The vaccine clinic will be open from 2 to 7 p.m. daily through Saturday or until vaccine supplies are depleted.
