CPS Response to H1N1
The 2009 H1N1 influenza virus has caused illness ranging from mild to severe. Many children have gotten the 2009 H1N1 infection and there have been large outbreaks in some schools across the country.
The Cincinnati Public School District is continually monitoring local and national information about H1N1, and working closely with the Cincinnati Health Department to ensure that we are prepared for and can respond to any situation that arises.
H1N1 Vaccine General Information
Vaccination is the best protection from this potentially serious disease. This vaccine is different from the seasonal flu vaccine. CPS is working with the Cincinnati Health Department to distribute the vaccine to students, as well as eligible adults. The vaccination is free.
During the first round of the vaccine's availability, the following people are eligible for the vaccine:
- Children and young adults from 6 months through 24 years
- Pregnant women
- People who live with, or care for, children younger than 6 months of age
- Health care and emergency medical services workers
- People ages 25 through 64 years who have certain health conditions such as HIV, diabetes, or heart or lung disease.
A consent form must be completed to receive the vaccine; a separate form is required for each person being vaccinated.
