Free H1N1 school vaccination clinic Dec. 5 for Daytona Beach, Holly Hill and South Daytona students, teachers, school staff

The Volusia County Health Department will conduct a free H1N1 swine flu vaccination clinic Saturday, Dec. 5. The vaccination clinic will take place from 9 a.m. - noon (or until the vaccine supply has been exhausted) at the health department’s Daytona Beach clinic, 1845 Holsonback Drive.

This clinic is intended for students, teachers, and school staff who are 3 years and older, live in the Daytona Beach, Holly Hill and South Daytona areas (ZIP codes 32114, 32117, 32118, 32119, and 32124), and are in the following groups:

• Public schools
• Private schools
• Child care centers
• Pre-kindergarten
• Head Start
• Charter schools
• Home-schools

The clinic will offer the H1N1 nasal spray vaccine and the injectable vaccine. The nasal vaccine is sprayed in the nose. The injectable vaccine is injected in the arm muscle. Both vaccines are safe and effective protection against the H1N1 swine flu virus.

Persons who are being targeted by this school vaccination clinic who cannot attend will have other opportunities to receive the vaccine. Locations, dates and times will be announced as the vaccine continues to arrive in Volusia County.

H1N1 swine flu vaccinations are voluntary. Residents may visit www.VolusiaHealth.com and click on Let’s Fight Flu Together for detailed information about the vaccine and to print a vaccine consent form, which must be signed by the person receiving the vaccine or the child’s parent/guardian before the vaccine will be administered. Vaccine information and consent forms also will be available at the school vaccination clinic and in the school offices of the public and private schools in the area. Residents are encouraged to complete the consent form in advance and bring to the clinic to expedite the process.

Residents also can view H1N1 swine flu information and print a consent form using Volusia County public library computers. For a complete list of library locations, visit www.VolusiaLibrary.org.

Children 9 years and younger should get two doses of the vaccine. Children should receive the second dose of the vaccine 21 to 28 days later. Children 10 and older require only one dose of the H1N1 swine flu vaccine to be protected.

People who have a severe (life-threatening) allergy to eggs or any other substance in the vaccine should not get H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

For more information about H1N1 swine flu, visit www.VolusiaHealth.com and click on the Let’s Fight Flu Together banner or call the Volusia County Health Department Flu Information Line at (866) 821-7704.
