Government health officials say the H1N1 virus has sickened about 22-million Americans since April.
The Henry County Health Department is offering a chance to get a vaccine.
A new shipment of the vaccine just arrived.
Thursday, residents in Headland were offered the chance to get the shot.
The shots are still only being given to high-risk groups, including expectant mothers, children 6 months to 4 years old, child caregivers, health care workers, and children ages 5 to 18 with underlying health issues.
Henry County Health Department Nurse Supervisor Pam Williams said, "The need is great. We do have the influenza virus circulating still so we do need the vaccine to prevent the infection."
For more information on times and locations for H1N1 shots, call your local county health department.
