Protection from Swine Flu Begins Today in Syracuse

Sign-ups begin for Syracuse school children to receive flu shots

by Jameson Fleming

Syracuse, New York -- Students attending Onondaga County schools will receive free H1N1 flu shots if their parents sign their children up.
Parents began signing their children up today when registration began at 9 AM Thursday. Parents can sign up two different ways. There is a link on each school's website or parents can call the Onondaga County Flu Hotline at 435-5752.


Each district will have one flu clinic just for students, but some districts may be combined and share a clinic.

Students will be able to choose between receiving the nasal spray version of the vaccine or receiving the flu shot.
