Swine Flu Could Create Problems For Kentucky Schools
Health officials have announced it's likely to be Thanksgiving befor a significant number of Americans who get the swine flu vaccine are protected. Roughly 50 million doses of the vaccine are expected to be available by mid-October. But, with an increasing number of cases expected to hit Kentucky schools, school nurses could need reinforcements. The number of school nurses in Kentucky falls short of industry and governmental standards, with one nurse for every 1,877 students, while schools should have one nurse for every 750 students.
