Can I request the nasal spray instead of the vaccine administered through injection for my child at the Arizona school based program clinics?
A. We are unable to offer an option for one formulation or the other due to the limited amount of H1N1 vaccine that is available from Maricopa County to provide to our schools. The formulation administered through injection will be first utilized in those children who are unable to receive the nasal formulation due to a pre-existing condition or contraindication identified in the screening process. We are not guaranteed quantities of how much of either vaccine formulation that will be available to bring to each school. If there are any concerns about having your child vaccinated at school, please ask that they meet with their doctor for more information before signing up your child for a school based immunization.
