Littleton Public Schools has been asked by the Tri-County Health Department to provide locations for free H1N1 vaccination clinics. Health department experts state that receiving the vaccination is an important preventive step that can be taken. If you make the determination that vaccination is appropriate, the following Tri County community clinics have been established:
Monday November 16 4:00 - 8:00 p.m. Goddard Middle School
3800 W. Berry Ave., Littleton
Tuesday November 17 4:00 - 8:00 p.m. Euclid Middle School
777 W. Euclid Ave., Littleton
Thursday November 19 4:00 - 8:00 p.m. Newton Middle School

Thursday December 17 4:00 - 8:00 p.m. Newton Middle School
Eligible Groups: (eligibility groups determined by federal and state health authorities)
• Children 6 months to 18 years (must be accompanied by parent or legal guardian)
• Young adults ages 18 to 24 years
• Pregnant women
• Adults 25-64 years who have chronic health conditions (such as asthma or diabetes)
• Adults to take care of infants less than 6 months old (because infants are too young to receive the vaccine themselves)
Cost: Vaccinations are free
Proof of residency: because of vaccine delays and limited quantities at this time, Tri County Health Department clinics are limited to residents of Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Douglas and Elbert Counties. Proof of residency is required such as an ID with home address or utility bill.
