DESOTO - Dallas County Department of Health and Human Services in cooperation with DeSoto ISD will provide free H1N1 influenza vaccines to all students and staff.

Although primarily aimed at immunizing school-age children, each campus will also offer the vaccine to interested staff members, parents and siblings on an available basis.

"The H1N1 flu continues to be the most prevalent flu virus in circulation today," said Rhonda Dalfonso, nursing coordinator for DeSoto ISD.

"Vaccination is the best form of protection and each person who gets vaccinated helps fight the flu in our community."

DeSoto ISD is proud to partner in the pilot program with the DCHHS department to provide vaccine opportunities for our students, staff and the community.
