Dr. Dennis Norfleet, Oswego County Director of Public Health, would like to stress the importance of staying healthy and getting vaccinated against H1N1 this flu season.
Health experts are expecting another wave of H1N1 to hit sometime in February. There is still time to get vaccinated against H1N1 flu.
The school district sent letters home with elementary school students Tuesday and mailed letters to families of secondary students announcing H1N1 vaccination clinics, to be run in coordination with the Oswego County Health Department.
The Fulton school district is offering to host a clinic to get an H1N1 flu vaccine to its students.
Superintendent Bill Lynch told the Board of Education Tuesday night that the county has asked schools if they would be willing to hold clinics to provide nasal mist vaccine to students. The district is willing to do so.
A few days back, we asked Hannibal, Fulton and Oswego schools for attendance data for the month so far. This is data they’re reporting daily both to the state, for state aid purposes, and to the county Health Department, which is tracking the spread of H1N1 flu.
Only Hannibal has responded with data so far. We’ll bring you the rest of it when we get it.
