Rumors fuel fears, and fears roll over our nation’s news networks until one is left more confused than they started and has to discern the facts from the falsities on their own. This is much the case with the H1N1 vaccine that is being used nation wide to prevent the sickness.
Despite the confusion, hundreds of parents took their children to the West Campus on Nov. 24 to get them vaccinated.

The vaccine comes as an injection or a nasal spray and the guidelines for who gets which depend mostly on age with the exception of pregnant women who get the injection regardless.

The vaccine was available to healthy people 2-24 years old, and health care workers, a care takers of a child under 6-months or of course a pregnant women.

The school was supplied with 600-700 vaccines and Dr. Abdella said the clinic was going “remarkably smooth” thanks to the cooperation of the volunteers, parents, and security. The lines were long, but fast moving and it was all efficient.

There will be another clinic, Abdella said, after the first of the year.
