Chad Arasmith of McCook and his two-year-old son, Kael, receive vaccinations -- a shot and a nasal spray -- from Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department nurse Kelli Pachner R.N., protecting them against H1N1 influenza. Myra Stoney, director of SWPHD, which hosted the early-morning vaccination clinic this morning, said that 110 vaccinations -- 45 shots and 65 nasal sprays -- were given during the two-hour clinic. H1N1 flu vaccinations target pregnant women, those living or working with children less than six months of age, healthcare and emergency response personnel, persons six months old to 24 years, and those from 25 to 64 years of age with chronic diseases such as asthma or diabetes, or diseases of the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, nerves or blood.
