South West Health Public Health Services has been looking at how best to make the H1N1 vaccine available as widely as possible. With the increase in vaccine supply, it has been decided in partnership with the Tri-County Regional School Board to begin offering the H1N1 flu shot to students in schools starting this week.
The H1N1 flu shot will be available to students in Digby Regional High
School on Wednesday, St. Mary’s Bay Academy
on Thursday, and Digby Elementary on Friday.
School clinics are for school students only. Consent forms and additional information will be sent home to parents. This information will be posted on the South West Health website when it is available.
Some physicians are also giving flu shots to their patients. Call your doctor to check.
Remember to bring your health card when going to a flu shot clinic.
People are urged not to attend a clinic if already suffering flu symptoms.
