The West Windsor Health Department will be holding an H1N1 Flu Vaccination Clinic for children in the WW-P school district in grades four to six on November 11.
The clinic will be held at Village School from 4 to 7:30 p.m. No appointments are necessary, but vaccinations will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. There is no cost for the shot.
According to West Windsor Township Administrator Robert Hary, the health department will be conducting clinics throughout the school district based upon the availability of the vaccine. “We’re going to try to do it in an organized fashion,” he said, adding that after the clinic for grades four through six, officials plan to move their way up through the high school level.
The township receives the vaccines from the state, which provides the vaccinations as officials use them. The first clinic was held on November 4 for grades kindergarten through three. Officials hope to run the clinics on a weekly basis “until such a time as we can get through the high-risk groups, provided the vaccine is sent to us on a timely basis.”
