FAIRBANKS – The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District is planning to provide free swine flu vaccines for any school-age children in the borough at a series of clinics scheduled to begin Nov. 19.
State officials say one dose of the vaccine is enough for children ages 10 and older. But children ages 6 months to 9 years should receive a second dose about four weeks later.
The school district is not requiring the vaccine but is recommending it.
The district is no longer tracking swine flu cases but is keeping a daily count of the number of students with flu-like symptoms.
