Dept. of Health H1N1 Vaccine Clinic at Expo Center This Weekend

November 16, 2009

As you may be aware the Center for Disease Control and the Pa. Dept of Health recommend that all individuals in certain target groups receive a vaccine.  We are pleased to announce that the Department of Health will be conducting a free clinic this weekend on Friday, Saturday and Sunday November 20, 21, and 22.  The clinic will be held at the Pennsylvania Exposition Center, 501 Cetronia Rd. just off Schantz Road. Clinic hours will be 2:00 to 8:00 pm on Friday and Sunday and 8:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturday. This location is conveniently located within our school district borders. 

 The FIVE target groups include:

  • Individuals between the ages of six months and 24 years;
  • Household contacts and caregivers for children younger than six months;
  • Pregnant women;
  • Healthcare providers and emergency medical services personnel;
  • Individuals under 65 years of age with underlying health conditions including asthma, diabetes, suppressed immune systems, heart disease, kidney disease, and neuro-cognitive and neuromuscular disorders.

APPOINTMENTS ARE REQUIRED and can be made 24 hours a day by clicking here.  Individuals without internet access can call 1-877-PA HEALTH (1-877-724-3258) between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm. Phone lines are limited. It is our understanding that walk-ins will not be accepted.

 Anyone seeking vaccination should download an H1N1 vaccine consent form from the Dept. of Health web site at www.h1n1inpa.com/assets/media/Consent%20Form.pdf . The completed form should be brought with you to the vaccine clinic.  

This vaccine is strictly voluntary for Parkland School District students. As always we encourage all students and staff to stay healthy by washing their hands frequently and staying home until they are fever free and no longer showing flu-like symptoms.  Detailed information can be found on our web site at www.parklandsd.org. Thank you for your cooperation.

On this beautiful fall day, Ironton 4th and 5th graders ran a timed cross country run in an effort to record an improvement in their fitness levels after training for the Turkey Trot in Physical Education class this past month.  Friends and family members cheered on their little athletes and some parents even ran with their kids.

First Place 4th grade boy and girl were Drew Trexler and McKenzie Brago.
First Place 5th grade boy and girl were Zachary Imdorf and Rachel Medlar.

This creative costume of a “Claw” vending machine game was made by Leah Toomey and her mom!  Leah is a student at Kratzer Elementary.  Our community enjoyed seeing many creative costumes as all elementary students paraded around their buildings on the Friday before Halloween during a favorite Parkland tradition. We wish everyone a safe and happy Halloween!
