Above about free H1N1 vaccine offered in Johnson County.
The Johnson County Health Department is still offering free H1N1 vaccine, it announced Thursday.
People are still contracting the flu, though in much smaller numbers, and officials are recommending that people get vaccinated.
Johnson County has enough vaccine to last until about September, officials said, when a new seasonal flu vaccine will come out that includes protection against the H1N1 strain.
Of 309 million residents in the United States, officials said, about 60 million were infected with H1N1 in the past year and 75 million got the vaccine.
That leaves more than half of citizens still vulnerable, they said.
The vaccines are offered without appointments to all who want them, officials said. They can get them at the clinic in Olathe at 11875 S. Sunset Drive or the one in Mission at 6000 Lamar Ave.
