Western Health announces the H1N1 immunization schedule for students in Grade 4 - Grade 6 in the Western region. 

These groups of school children will be vaccinated at the following locations: 

Western Health would like to take this opportunity to thank the Western School District for all of its efforts to make the H1N1 vaccine available to students, throughout the region, in a timely and efficient manner. Western Health also thanks all parents for their patience as we move forward with the H1N1 vaccination campaign.  

Parents are reminded to return their children’s consent forms in advance of next week’s clinics.  Parents are asked to dress their children in short sleeves or easy roll ups.  

Please be advised that the schedule for all remaining school children will be announced in the near future. Any parents who have questions are encouraged to call 1-877-632-H1N1 (4161).

All residents will have access to the H1N1 vaccine. Western Health will update the schedule as more information is available. The Provincial Government, working with the Regional Health Authorities, will monitor the mass immunization program as it rolls out and changes may be made to the existing plan.
