First day of immunizations successful in schools

Special to the Register

The first round of vaccinations were given Monday at four Madison County elementary schools.

Kit Carson, Glenn Marshall, Shannon Johnson and Kingston elementaries received the vaccinations from the Madison County Health Department. Almost 40 percent of the student population at those four schools received the vaccinations, according to Becky Carr, Madison County Schools Nurse Coordinator.

“We had about a 30 percent return on consent forms as of Friday afternoon,” Carr said. “Today, we had several more consent forms come in with students as we were preparing to give vaccinations.”

The vaccination clinics will continue throughout the week with four more elementary schools slated for Tuesday – Kirksville, White Hall, Waco and Silver Creek elementaries.

“I am so excited,” Carr said. “It really could not have gone any better. The kids were great and the health department staff kept things moving quickly and efficiently.”

Carr said the health department teams are prepared for equal or greater numbers on Tuesday.

“We expect to field about the same number of requests,” she said.

All students who received the vaccine received a healthy snack after their vaccination. Students also were sent home with a record of the vaccination and care instructions for after their vaccination, Carr said.

The health Department and Madison County Schools are reminding parents that H1N1 vaccine packets including information about the vaccination and consent forms still are available. Consent forms will be accepted on the day of vaccination, Carr said.
