Children age 9 and younger will need two doses of the H1N1 vaccine, given at least one month apart.
Anyone receiving an H1N1 vaccination must fill out a vaccination administration record (VAR) form. Forms will be available at the clinics. Schools also will send forms home with students.
For clinics held during school hours, students must bring a completed form, signed by a parent, in order to be excused from class to get vaccinated.
Parents are welcome to accompany their children to clinics held after regular school hours.
Students age 15 and older may fill out their own vaccination administration record (VAR) form.
Only the H1N1 flu vaccine will be administered, not the seasonal flu vaccine.
