Indy Capitol Maybe ready for H1NI: How about Allen County?

Indiana Governor Mitchell Daniels had this to say about Indiana being one of the first of its health workers to get inoculated against the swine flu:

"We in Indiana are out to be first in things whenever we can these days," Daniels said. "I'm told that with this delivery today, we will be the first state to actually begin protecting … our health professionals."Initial shipments of the nasal mist vaccine are so small that, in most cases, they're being reserved for health workers so the workers remain healthy and can care for and vaccinate others.

But, the Republican Governor must have been speaking about Indy because Allen County does not even have a swine flu clinic :

"We still don't have any specifics so we haven't been able to determine when we'll be able to have our clinics here," said Dr. Deb McMahon of the Fort Wayne-Allen County Health Department."

Although Marion County was giving out nasal mist yesterday, the best Allen County could do was convene a panel to discuss the H1N1. No Clinics in Allen County to support a pandemic of the swine flu, not yet.

Maybe, Allen County Health workers are waiting on the shots.
