SOUTH GRENVILLE - The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit opened its H1N1 vaccination clinics to almost everyone last week.

Susan Healey, communications officer for the unit, said the decision to make the clinics open to most tri-county residents was made at about 4 pm last Tuesday afternoon, after the Journal went to press.

"We decided late Tuesday afternoon because we thought the ministry would announce it today (Thursday) anyway and we wanted to give people time to come to our clinic," she said. Infants under six months are now the only ones who may not receive an H1N1 vaccination.
