Two St. Joseph County school districts have not yet been able to arrange H1N1 vaccinations for their students.

Representatives of Mishawaka and Penn-Harris-Madison schools say they’re still working with the St. Joseph County Health Department to try to get vaccinations for their students.

Gregg Hixenbaugh, director of human resources and relations for Mishawaka schools, said the district is trying to arrange for flu shots.

"We’re still trying to work out the details if there will be (H1N1) shots or not," he said.

Hixenbaugh said district students were supposed to get seasonal flu shots at schools, but the program had to be canceled because the county was running out of the vaccine.

Teresa Carroll, director of communications for P-H-M schools, said representatives of her district have been told the county may not get enough vaccine for them to be able to offer H1N1 vaccines to students.

She said Mike Seger, director of safety and student services, will attend a meeting in which he may get more information.

All P-H-M elementary school students are in the process of getting seasonal flu shots this week.

Roz Ellis, director of student services, said earlier this week that all South Bend Community School Corp. students will have a chance to be vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus. That may not be until November, depending on when enough of the vaccine arrives at the county health department, she said.

As soon as there is enough H1N1 vaccine delivered to the Marshall County Health Department, an initial mass clinic for children will be held at a public facility, health administrator Wes Burden said.

After the initial clinic, when the vaccine supply is built up again, the health department will look at distributing vaccines to school corporations throughout the county, he said.

These clinic plans are dependent on whether the county receives enough vaccine, Burden said.

Currently, the limited supply of vaccine has been given to medical providers to reach target groups with the least immunity to the H1N1 flu virus.
