The Buncombe County Health Center will hold seven simultaneous H1N1 flu mist vaccine clinics 4-7 p.m. Thursday at schools throughout the county.
The health center currently has about 2,800 doses of flu mist, which will be available to people 2-24 years old, and people 25-49 years old who live or care for infants younger than 6 months old, or are a health care or emergency medical services provider.
The clinics will be held at the J. Herbert Coman Student Activity Center at Asheville Buncombe Technical Community College, Erwin High School, Hominy Valley Elementary School, North Buncombe High School, Owen High School, Reynolds High School and Roberson High School.
People must be healthy and meet other health requirements to get the flu mist. Pregnant women may not receive the flu mist.
People who have had the seasonal flu mist within the past two weeks should not get the flu mist, nor should children younger than 2 years old or adults older than 50 years old, anyone with a weakened immune system, anyone with long-term health problems including heart disease, lung disease, asthma, kidney or liver disease, metabolic issues like diabetes, or anemia and other blood disorders, children younger than 5 years old with asthma or one or more episodes of wheezing during the past year, anyone with muscle or nerve disorders that can lead to breathing or swallowing problems, anyone in close contact with a person with a severely weakened immue system, and children or adolescents on long-term asprin treatment.
Children under 10 years old will need to have a second dose of the H1N1 vaccine (mist or shot) at least four weeks after the first dose.
H1N1 vaccine is free but people with health insurance are asked to bring their insurance card. Insurance will be billed an administrative fee. If the insurance company denies the claim, the card holder will not be billed.
The health center expects to continue holding H1N1 flu vaccine clinics in the future as vaccine is received.

Help answer the question about county health
do doctors offices turn std cases into the county or state health depts?if you get tested in a hospial or doctors office and it comes back positive for anything do they turn your information ( name and all ) into the county and or state health depts?
in the state of utah if you go into a doctors office for std testing are they required to turn your name and information (address ect.) into the state and or county health dept?
for unsanitary conditions
It's never a mistake to try. Whether you qualify depends on your county. Usually there are some public mental health programs. For some, you have to be on public assistance. It depends a lot on where you are. I think you are in CA because you reference a CA police code. Look for the number for mental health services in your county. If they say you don't qualify, ask for referrals to other low cost providers- they should have phone numbers.
Consider looking outside of public services, too. Often, clinics associated with universities will offer discounted/sliding scale services. Some non-profits also offer sliding scale fees. I worked for a CA non-profit in the high desert that offered services by intern therapists (Master's trained) for $1 a session.
go to the NAMI web site they might be able to help. also if you need meds your doc can give you samples. good luck
It is likely that your county uses its groundwater- good for them. Dunno if the product works, but the bacteria they use is not potable, so if the county uses their groundwater, they don't want it contaminated with bacteria and neither do you. See the source below for real details.
Yes, but they do not test for ALL STDs. Your friend should inquire about what tests they do test for, and what should she do if she wants to get tested for the others. Some do not test for Herpes / Hep C / or HPV, and I have even heard of some in which an HIV test was optional.
Only if you are a minor and your parents have agreed or you are suspected of harming someone or planning to harm someone. In that case, it would be the police doing the monitoring and the psych folks evaluating the findings.
I am in Southern California. I am using county health care at the moment. If you are eligible I would apply now. Then go through the booklet they send you to pick your HMO, Kaiser is on there so you might be able to still get care through them.
What I did was look to see what HMO took the most hospitals and what those hospitals reputations are like so in case of emergency I would already know where to go.
