ONEIDA COUNTY, N.Y. (WKTV) - Now that the initial shortage of swine flu vaccine has eased, Governor Paterson says all New Yorkers ages six months and older are eligible to get vaccinated.

That means that local H1N1 clinics - including those scheduled for this weekend - will serve more that just the previously prioritized groups.

Oneida County Health officials say that although the clinics will now be open clinics, you still will have to make an appointment in order to avoid long lines and long waits.
