OKALOOSA COUNTY, FL - Okaloosa County will soon start vaccinating at-risk residents against the swine flu.

The County Health Department will soon offer free H1N1 vaccinations at clinics all over the county.

County health officials say pregnant women, people who take care of young children, and those with chronic health issues should get vaccinated first.

The county's Emergency Response Management director was one of many to get her swine flu shot Thursday.

"The vaccination is just like any other flu shot I've ever gotten, it felt the same, a little bit of sting, not much at all."

They will begin November 5th and run through December 5th.
