What are the current recommendations around vaccination of school aged children?
ACIP reiterates a previous recommendation that all persons, including school-aged children, who want to reduce the risk of becoming ill with influenza or of transmitting influenza to others, should be vaccinated. This year school districts in Columbia, Hood River, Jefferson, Linn, Marion, Tillamook, Washington, Wheeler and Yamhill counties will be hosting school-based “SchoolMist” clinics, offering FluMist to students.
