First Students In North Escambia Receive H1N1 Vaccine

October 29, 2009

Wednesday, dozens of children at Jim Allen Elementary became the first students in the North Escambia area to receive the H1N1 vaccine.

The H1N1 vaccination clinics will eventually be offered at K-12 public schools in the county. Eric Gilmore, Escambia County’s director of public health preparedness, said recently that he could not provide a timetable for vaccinations at North Escambia schools due to a short supply of the vaccine. He said that students would be given vaccination permission forms about a week prior to the vaccination date at their individual school.

The school vaccinations are expected to be completed by the end of November.
