H1N1 Clinics

H1N1 vaccination clinics begin today in some Dane County schools. The health department expects to vaccinate thousands of children. The current schedule calls for the clinics to be staged right up until December 1st. The State Department of Health Services tells me other districts across the state are also working to set up school-based clinics based on the allocations of vaccine they get. These clinics are not mandatory, and do require parental consent. After calling around to my own doctor's office, pharmacy-based walk-in clinics and other visiting nurse type public clinics, it sounds like getting your children vaccinated at their school is the best way to go - if you want them to get vaccinated. The other providers, at least as of today, don't appear to yet have the H1N1 vaccine for the general public.
