There will be a clinic for the H1N1, or swine flu vaccine, for Trigg students in the third, fourth and fifth grades, at the Trigg County Primary School gymnasium on Thursday. The clinic for third graders will be from 4 – 5 p.m., the clinic for fourth graders will be from 5 – 6 p.m., and the clinic for fifth graders will be from 6 – 7:30 p.m.

A clinic for Trigg students from Head Start, preschool, Trigg Tots and Kindergarten through second grade was previously held at the same place on Tuesday, Nov. 12.

It is asked that children go to the Mass Clinic in the county where they attend school. Additional school clinics are being planned to target other school age children and will be held as more vaccine becomes available.

Upon the completion of school age children, Community Mass Clinics will be scheduled for others that wish to receive the H1N1 vaccination.

For more information, call the Trigg County Health Department at 522-8121, or contact Allison Beshear at the Pennyrile District Health Department at 270-365-6571.

The PDHD has held or is holding Mass Clinics for school children in Caldwell, Crittenden, Livingston and Lyon counties as well.
