ST. LUCIE COUNTY — St. Lucie County Health Department’s second vaccination station is Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (or until vaccine supplies are exhausted) at the St. Lucie County Logistics Center, 3855 S. U.S. 1 in Fort Pierce.

A third vaccination station will be Nov. 21 at the same location and time.

“Because of limited supplies, right now we are only targeting people who fall within one of the priority groups and who do not have access to the vaccine through their doctor,” said Larry Lee, St. Lucie County Health Department Administrator.

The priority groups, as identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are at highest risk for severe complications from H1N1. They are: pregnant women, people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age, people from 6 months to 24 years of age, health care and emergency medical services personnel, people 25 to 64 years old who are at higher risk for H1N1 because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems
