Plans...Yes we will provide vaccinations at schools. Plans are still under discussion with the Public Health department. It depends on how many vaccinations they receive but we would like to provide clinics during the day and in the evenings if there are enough for families and staff of families. Public Health would be organizing these clinics with nurse and health care volunteers. The Federal Government is providing the vaccines for free but not the administrative costs. Of course consents would need to be provided prior to any vaccinations of students.<br />It will happen when the vaccine is available - last heard mid-October.Liz Margolisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790809561264810693.post-71056091948712444342009-09-07T20:59:49.539-04:002009-09-07T20:59:49.539-04:00Liz, thanks for the clarifications.

And if so when will they happen?Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10531344380743742801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790809561264810693.post-32236961862447500672009-09-07T19:55:32.711-04:002009-09-07T19:55:32.711-04:00Just to clarify.

We are asking that children and adults with a fever of 100 degrees or more not return to school until they are fever free without fever-reducing medication for 24 hours, then they can return to school. Public Health tells us that the H1N1 virus presents with a fever for up to 5-7 days usually. That is they the 5 day out OR the fever rule above.<br /><br />Also the movie "Flipped" was filmed at AA Open as well as Thurston this summer.<br /><br />Liz Margolis, Director of Communications, AAPSLiz Margolisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790809561264810693.post-87223532112828873832009-09-07T17:33:49.139-04:002009-09-07T17:33:49.139-04:00Well, that's a tough one.

On the other hand, there are plenty of kids who get sent to school when they are clearly still contagious, so maybe some guidelines are in order. But this does seem a bit extreme.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486646522914924111noreply@blogger.com
