Arkansas Flu Clinics Start
The state’s tobacco tax dollars were at work Wednesday. Health care providers administered the first supplies of the H1N1 vaccine to school kids.

It’s part of the Governors’ health initiative, but despite this free opportunity some parents have concerns.
These clinics are going on throughout the state. Before the clinics are done, kids and parents at about 1,100 schools will get a chance to be vaccinated.
However, a nation survey found that most parents don’t plan to get their kids vaccinated, something concerning health officials in Arkansas.
With a little encouragement from parents, kids at Fair Park Early Childhood Center, in Little Rock got their protective shields against H1N1 and seasonal flu.
As a teacher and the mother of three girls, Tina Ross is familiar with impact of germ-spreading school children.
“We’ve decided to go ahead and get the vaccination,” says Ross.
“As soon as they come in from school they wash their hands and depending on if anyone is sick in their class they change clothes,” says Ross.
Wednesday was day one of Arkansas’ pledge to vaccinate as many of its 460,000 plus public and charter schools students as possible.
Ed Barham with the Department of Health explains school kids make-up about 20 percent of the state’s population, so they’re important to preventing the spread of the flu.
“It’s one of the most efficient ways we can protect the population,” says Barham.
