The Lyon County Health Department has been allotted 238 doses of the H1N1 vaccine with 200 of those doses to arrive around the end of the month. The vaccine will come in mist form, said Ann Mayo, director of environmental health.

"Priority will be vaccination of health care workers followed by children between 2 and 9 years of age," Mayo said. "This priority has been recommended by the KDHE and we will be following their recommendations."

This is the first shipment of the vaccine and more is expected this fall and winter.
