Flu clinics are set to re-open Tuesday in Toronto for those who need a second dose of H1N1 vaccine.

The second round of vaccines will be given to children from 6 months to 3 years old and those aged 3 to 9 who have chronic health conditions.

Parents need to remember that children require at least a 21-day gap between getting the first and second shots of the H1N1 vaccine, said Susan Sperling, a spokesperson for the Toronto Public Health.

She said the clinics are also open to the general public who want to get both the seasonal and H1N1 vaccines.

"I'm not sure how many people will show up, but we are prepared for whoever comes," Sperling said.

"Towards the end, our (first round of) clinics didn't have any lineups, so it's hard to predict the numbers we will see for the second round."

Clinics are also set to re-open this week in Peel, Halton and Durham regions.
