2nd H1N1 clinic Dec. 17 at NRE

The Clermont County General Health District has scheduled a vaccination clinic for Thursday, Dec. 17 from 4 to 7 p.m. at New Richmond Elementary for New Richmond Exempted Village School District students (and their younger siblings) age 10 and under who need the second H1N1 vaccination as recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC recommends children through 9 years of age should get two doses of vaccine, about a month apart. The Dec. 17 clinic is for children who received their first dose at the Nov. 12 clinic.

Parents or guardians must fill out a second consent form for their children to receive the second H1N1 vaccination. The form is attached to this email and also is available online from the General Health District and will be available at the clinic.
