H1N1 Confirmed Here At Home
District Ten acting superintendent has confirmed the H1N1 virus has hit home. Jenny McDougall tells us three students in the St George area have been tested and they have the virus. McDougall says letters will be sent home to let parents know there is a confirm case of the virus and a consent form for your child to have the H1N1 shot. Vaccination begins this week. She says if a parent or younger sibling accompanies their child, they may receive the vaccine. The general public is to receive their shot during the after school hours at designated schools or community locations. This process will follow a first come, first serve approach. Appointments will not be taken so please refrain from calling the schools. Milltown elementary was a success today with no one turn away. St Andrews will begin vaccinations tomorrow.
