H1N1 Vaccine Clinic Update – November 11, 2009County public health officials have been in communication with St. Cloud Area Schools regarding H1N1 vaccine availability for school age children. The vaccine allotments to county public health are considerably less than expected. Thus, our public health officials are under direction from the Minnesota Department of Health to begin vaccination of younger school age children, K - age 9 (up to 10 years of age). The Minnesota Department of Health has also stated that these clinics must be held between November 16 and 25th. St. Cloud Area Schools (public and non public) are located within 3 counties, Benton, Stearns and Sherburne counties. The approach to vaccine distribution differs among the counties.
Parents can expect to receive specific information over the next few days from their child’s school. As more vaccine is made available, we will continue to collaborate with public health officials. Please continue to check back for further updates. H1N1 Update – October 19, 2009The week of Oct. 19, students in the St. Cloud Area Schools, both public and non-public, will receive H1N1 vaccine clinic information packets. Benton and Stearns County Public Health will be working with area schools to provide school-based vaccine clinics. View the following information:
Sherburne County Public Health will provide community-based vaccine clinics for children at Talahi and Clearview elementary schools. View the following information:
Vaccine clinics will be held after NOVEMBER 9, 2009. Parents will be notified a few days before the specific date for their child’s school/community clinic. The vaccine will be provided free of charge to students. Parents must consent in order for students to receive the vaccine. Updates:
