School children under 10 years old
across Alabama will be offered the nasal mist swine flu vaccine
beginning next week.
State Health Officer Don Williamson and state schools
Superintendent Joe Morton said Wednesday the nasal mist vaccine
would be administered at school-based clinics to children in
kindergarten to third grade.
Williamson said the clinics would be in some schools next week
and would be in the majority of schools the week of Nov. 30 to Dec.
4.
Morton said parents must sign permission forms if they want
their children to be vaccinated.
So far 32 deaths in Alabama have been attributed to the swine
flu, also called the H1N1 virus.
