Update on H1N1 Influenza – February 9th
The turnout continues to be significant for the H1N1 vaccination clinics that are collaboratively sponsored by the Darien Public Schools and the Darien Health Department. The role of the Health Department has been to administer the vaccine, while the role of the schools has been to help publicize the events.
The most recent immunization session (Feb 2nd) administered 220 more vaccines, bringing this winter’s total to over 1,300. Due to the continuing, steady demand, another clinic is being organized.
We remind parents that they can bring their children to the next scheduled H1N1 vaccine clinic being held on Thursday, February 25th, from 3:00 to 7:30 pm in the AUDITORIUM of Town Hall.
Please read the following February 8th Press Release from Darien Director of Health, David Knauf, linked to this message. Thank you.
