The Clermont County General Health District begins holding vaccination clinics at county schools this week to administer the first of two H1N1 shots.
"We have 5,000 doses of the vaccine to administer at county schools this week," said Clermont General Health District Commissioner Marty Lambert. "Younger siblings of children attending the schools where the clinics are held can also obtain the vaccines."
Location and times of the clinics will vary and the shots are voluntary. Children age 10 and under will need two doses arbout a month apart. Older children only need one dose.
Student vaccination clinics will be held this week at Bethel Tate Middle School (for Bick, Ebon C. Hill, and Bethel Tate Middle schools), Clermont Northeastern High School (for CNE Elementary and St. Louis schools), Goshen Middle School (for Spaulding and Marr/Cook schools), Pattison Elementary (for Pattison and Seipelt schools), McCormick Elementary (for McCormick and Smith schools), Meadowview Elementary (for Meadowview and Mulberry schools), Batavia High School (for high school and Batavia Elementary), and Batavia Middle school.
Additional school clinics will be scheduled, as the vaccine becomes available. The school vaccination clinics are not open to the general public.
