The A-H1N1 vaccination period is being extended by two weeks, the Parliamentary Secretariat for Community Care said in a statement.

It said that following an evaluation of the scientific evidence and consultation with other European countries, it was decided that children and the elderly did not need more than one jab.

One can be vaccinated at health centres between Mondays and Saturdays from 2 to 8 p.m. or at the Gozo General Hospital between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. One’s identity card has to be presented.
