The Cleveland County Health Department held a drive-thru clinic Saturday morning, vaccinating more than 700 people as they sat in their cars.

The Health Department said if individuals were unable to make it Saturday, they will be receiving more.

Officials recommend checking with your doctor if you have a severe illness or suffer from allergies before taking any type of vaccine.

The Mecklenburg County Health Department is also offering H1N1 vaccines to anyone in a high-risk group.

Eligible people should call the Mecklenburg County Health Department at 704- 432-5100 to schedule an appointment.

Students in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools can also get the Swine flu shot. CMS sent students home Friday with permissions slips.

CMS hopes to start running clinics at individual schools by the end of November. Students in Gaston County can get an H1N1 vaccine as well.

About 2,000 students at 11 different schools will get vaccinated on Monday.

The county has used information from county hospitals to identify hot spots and will inoculate students in those hot spots.

The Gaston County Health Department has given out 1,600 doses.
