Spotsylvania, Fredericksburg to get first clinics

Schools in Spotsylvania County and Fredericksburg will get their first doses of the H1N1 vaccine this week, though the only type of vaccine available will be FluMist, a nasal spray.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Yesterday, November 12, 2009 my wife and I took our three boys to Spotsylvania HS for H1N1 flu shots. Much to our surprise, when we arrived we were informed that they were only providing the flu mist. Our third grader is high risk and must have the shot. We can not understand why or how the rest of Virginia can obtain the H1N1 flu shot vaccine but Spotsylvania County can not. What is the problem with our school board/health department in Spotsylvania County that it can not obtain the H1N1 shot vaccine for the kids who need it most???? Maybe it's time for a change of personnel in the Spotsylvania School District and the Health Department as well.

Sincerely Yours,
2nd Rate Citizens of Spotsylvania County Schools
