There will be a learning curve for teachers and students, as Northside schools delve into a first-of-its-kind undertaking: doling out swine flu shots at school.
 
The metro-health district is providing free, H1N1 flu shots for the riskiest group among us: children. NISD officials say there is now a stockpile for students at school. The district plans to roll up students sleeves between the holidays.
For more information, click here.
Here are some of the rules:

*Children with severe asthma WILL NOT be vaccinated unless NISD is provided written permission from the child's physician.

*Children who are reluctant to be vaccinated (i.e., crying, kicking, screaming) WILL NOT be restrained, and thus will not receive the immunization.

*Children who are absent on the day that the vaccinations are provided WILL NOT be given an alternate date or location for vaccination.

*ONLY children registered as NISD students at the particular location will be vaccinated.

* Children without completed and signed permission slips WILL NOT be vaccinated.

The schedule for Dec. 3-11 is as follows:

NISD Schools / Vaccination Date / Permission Slip Due Date
