H1N1 clinic busy the third time around
XENIA — The third H1N1 vaccination clinic at the Greene County Fairgrounds is drawing hundreds of residents, which is similar to last week, but not nearly the thousands of the first clinic last month.
Laurie Fox, of the Greene County Combined Health District, said the fairground clinic, open 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. today 120 Fairground Road, is in no danger of running out of vaccines.
In fact, Sara Pappa, health district spokeswoman, said they hope to begin offering the vaccine in schools as soon as next week. The daytime clinics will likely occur in one district at a time between now and the Thanksgiving break, she said.
Beginning in December, the health district plans to hold more vaccination clinics. Times and dates of future clinics are expected to be announced by the end of the week, Pappa said.

I would like to know why, when I went to Xenia High last week with my 15 year old son, he got the flu mist. They refused me because I have MS. I was told that I would have to wait until Dec to get it at the fairgrounds. Now this article says they are giving shots at the fairground now!

I am not clear on your question. Are you wondering why he received the flu mist or why you did not? They will not administer the flu mist to anyone with a chronic health condition because it is a live virus, though weakened.
