Swine flu vaccine hitting Horry, Georgetown, Williamsburg counties

Posted: Updated:

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - A number of public health centers are stocked for the H1N1 vaccine, according to the SC Department of Health and Environmental Control.

The DHEC announced it is receiving shipments of the vaccine in South Carolina and are ordering many more doses. A few DHEC public health centers have scheduled H1N1 vaccine clinics, but others are waiting until they have sufficient quantities of the vaccine on hand before finalizing plans.

If you don't see listings for H1N1 vaccine clinics in your area, the DHEC urges people not to worry.

"We expect to have enough H1N1 flu vaccines for everyone who wants one," the department states on its website.

There is no out of pocket charge for the 2009 H1N1 vaccine at a DHEC clinic. The cost of the seasonal flu shot is $25, payable by cash, check, Medicaid or Medicare.

If attending a clinic for a vaccine, bring your Medicaid or Medicare Part B card with you, if you have one and wear a short-sleeved shirt.
