Poland Public Schools wait for H1N1 vaccine

POLAND — Poland public schools nurse Elizabeth Inniss said Thursday that she is still waiting for confirmation of when the H1N1 vaccine will arrive.

The Maine Center for Disease Control has received a limited number of H1N1 vaccines and some public and non-public clinics for H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccination have been scheduled across the state for people in high risk categories.

The Elan School, a residential school in Poland, is among the locations listed as having a seasonal flu clinic on Oct. 26 for its students.

Inniss said once she receives the vaccine doses, clinics will be set up to administer them.

Many schools across the region, including the Oxford Hills School District, are still waiting to receive the vaccine.
