You must be in one of the following priority groups to receive the vaccine:

Unlike El Paso County, pharmacies in Pueblo County do not have any H1N1 swine flu vaccine. However, several doctor's offices have received shipments. WIC clients can also receive the vaccine during their regular appointments.
