Flathead County Health officials were still looking to vaccinate higher risk groups for the H1N1 flu during a Tuesday clinic held in Columbia Falls.
Public Health Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Jennifer Rankosky says they have more vaccine than demand at this time, but they're still receiving phone calls daily from the general public waiting for their chance to get vaccinated.
