MARQUETTE -- The H1N1 vaccine is becoming much easier to get if you live in Marquette County.

There was another H1N1 clinic in Marquette Monday.

Walgreens held a vaccination clinic last Wednesday, and had enough doses left over to have another one this week.

As of early Monday morning, approximately 250 people had been vaccinated between the two clinics.

"We're just doing it to provide a service to the community," explains Pharmacy Manager Amanda Moisio.  "We're happy to do that and there seems to be a need right now in the community.  I'm not aware of any other places that are providing it so we're just happy to be able to service the community."

The shots are billed as a prescription through Medicare, Medicaid, or your regular insurance.

Walgreens will be holding another clinic on Wednesday, January 6 from 9:00 to 4:00.

They plan to have clinics as long as there is a need, and vaccines are available.
