H1N1 Vaccination Efforts Continue Harrisburg - The Department of Health vaccinated 49,078 Pennsylvanians at 33 H1N1 flu clinics held across the state on January 8 and 9. The department urges anyone who has not yet been vaccinated to get immunized. “It’s still important for people to get vaccinated even though flu activity is currently very low,” said Health Secretary Everette James. “It is likely that we will have a third wave of H1N1 flu, so it is vital for people to protect themselves and those they love from what can be a deadly disease.” The clinics involved more than 1,100 support personnel, including state employees, contracted nurses, paramedics, and volunteers. The department will continue its vaccination efforts at 60 state health centers every Saturday through February 6, from 9 a.m. to noon. Appointments are not needed. In addition, staff will be holding immunization clinics on specific days during the week. For more information and to find a clinic, call 1-877-PA HEALTH. To date, 4,736,700 doses of H1N1 vaccine have been allocated to Pennsylvania. The department continues to order the vaccine on behalf of certified private providers. For more information about H1N1, visit www.H1N1inPA.com or call 1-877-PA HEALTH (1-877-724-3258).

Residents Encouraged To Use Road-Damage Hotline HARRISBURG - Rep. Sandra Major (R-Susquehanna/Wayne/Wyoming) is encouraging motorists to contact the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to report potholes and other problems with state roads. Based on the caller's phone number, calls are directed to local PennDOT maintenance facilities where problems can receive the appropriate attention. Callers are encouraged to: report the county and municipality where the problem is located; report the state route number, which can be found on the small white-and-black signs posted along state roads, where the problem is located; describe familiar landmarks nearby in order to help PennDOT crews locate the problem. The toll-free maintenance hotline can be reached at 1-800-FIX-ROAD (1-800-349-7623). In addition to reporting potholes, motorists may also report missing highway signs, shoulder drop-offs, roadway washouts and other potential hazards. With the very cold temperatures and consistent precipitation the state has seen in recent weeks, potholes are forming more quickly than usual on several area roadways. Once notified, PennDOT will actively work to address pothole and other roadway concerns when the weather permits. Motorists can also log on to www.511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions on major roadways before traveling. For more information on the state services Major's district offices can provide, log on to www.RepMajor.com, or visit one of her district offices. Her offices are at Route 706 Lake Montrose, RR7 Box 7186, Montrose, PA 18801 (telephone: 570-278-3374) and 130 N. Bridge Street, Tunkhannock, PA 18657 (telephone: 570-836-5888).
