Howard County Health Department officials have scheduled two appointment-only swine flu vaccination clinics for children on Thursday and Friday at the agency's Columbia office at 7178 Gateway Drive.

On Thursday, children with special health needs will be vaccinated by injection from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and on Friday, preschoolers ages 2 to 5 can get the FluMist nasal spray version. Dr. Peter L. Beilenson, Howard's health officer, said the county will accept 200 appointments each day.

Anyone interested may call 410-313-6250 to schedule an appointment. The county is planning additional clinics as more of the vaccine becomes available.
