A schedule for the H1N1 vaccine to be administered in the Suwannee County public schools has been set. The schedule is as follows:
Monday, November 2 Suwannee Intermediate School
Tuesday, November 3 Suwannee Elementary School
Wednesday, November 4 Suwannee Primary School
Thursday, November 5 Branford Elementary School
Branford High School
Friday, November 6 Suwannee Middle School
Monday, November 9 Suwannee High School
Nearly 1,600 signed consent forms have been returned to the schools. Only students with signed consents will be given the vaccine. Only the injectable H1N1 vaccine, which is made from killed virus, will be used in the school setting. Students age 9 and younger will require a second dose of H1N1 vaccine given 3-4 weeks after the first dose. Clinical trials have shown that the second dose is needed by young children in order for their bodies to produce the level of immunity needed to protect them from infection. These students will be given a second consent packet on the day they receive the first dose of vaccine. Parents must sign and return the second consent for the second dose to be given. Tentative date for this second dose to be given is the week of November 30th. Parents will be notified of the specific date at a later time.
The Suwannee County Health Department appreciates the assistance of the Suwannee School System, especially the school nurses, in planning this vaccination campaign in the schools.
