Health officials are urging H1N1 vaccinations for those most vulnerable to illness, and mass immunizations clinics are planned throughout the state Saturday.
The vaccines are targeted for children ages 6 months to 18 years, pregnant women, adults under age 65 with chronic medical conditions, health care workers treating acutely ill patients and custodial parents of infants under 6 months old.
