MT. CLEMENS, Mich., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Two additional large community H1N1 influenza clinics have been scheduled by the Macomb County Health Department, the department announced today.

In addition to these public clinics, a clinic for health care workers and health care volunteers only has been set up for Thursday, Nov. 12, from noon to 7 p.m., also at Freedom Hill.
