School Clinics Could Open As Early As Next Week KPBS.org:
"SAN DIEGO — San Diego County education officials say H1N1 school clinics might open sooner than later. That's because the county received an unexpected shipment of the swine flu vaccinations last week.
Almost 30 San Diego County school districts have agreed to provide campus space for county-operated vaccination clinics.
Those clinics will start inoculating kids beginning next week thanks to an unexpected shipment of 78,000 doses of the swine flu vaccination.
Jim Esterbrooks is with the San Diego County Office of Education. He says these clinics will cater to students and school staffers. He says the general public should not rely on them. Instead, they should call on their own doctors or community clinics."
