The Missoula City-County Health Department is planning a H1N1 vaccination clinic for pregnant women.

Missoula City-County Health Department Officer Ellen Leahy says they received a shipment containing 400 doses of injectable vaccine. They also still have some others is stock which will be provided to the public during the next event.

Missoula health officials have also received 700 doses of nasal spray that they can use for healthier groups on a later date.

So far, Missoula health care workers, 2 to 4 year olds, infants, and students living in dorms at the University of Montana have received H1N1 vaccination.

Leahy added that there will be a meeting on Monday to see which groups of healthy people can use the nasal spray as well as when they will start clinics for them.
