No Seasonal Flu Shots for Kids Yet

Season flu vaccines will only be available to adults in Essex County for the moment. That's because New York State Heath Officials say the vaccine for children won't even be shipped until this week and it will come from Tennessee. This means that the flu shot clinic schedule will only include adults for now. Those over 18 years old in the village of Jay will be able to get shots on September 28th, in Lake Placid on September 29th and there may be vaccines available for those in Schroon Lake for September 30th. The Essex County Public Health Department says this is NOT the vaccine for the H1N1 or Swine Flu.
