Seminole County Health Department is planning two clinics Saturday to administer 1,000 doses of the new H1N1 vaccine for swine flu.

They are scheduled for Crooms Academy and Lake Howell High School, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

"This one is geared for school aged children," said the health department's Denise Ward.

Health officials expect a turnaway crowd.

"Unfortunately we don't have enough to take care of everyone who will probably come out, but we can take of a good amount of people," she added.

Those who show up too late to get either the FluMist or shot will be given information on future free flu clinics the county is planning. Learn more here.

Ward told WDBO that some people have been calling the health department about the vaccine.

"I am getting parents who have children at very high risk, who are very scared for their children's health, so we're making sure we take care of them right away."
