By Frank Gerace

The state Division of Public Health's school vaccination program against H1N1 flu is, for the most part, right on schedule.

DPH director Doctor Karyl Rattay says some clinics have had to be rescheduled for reasons including last week's storm in Sussex County, but the majority of next week's vaccine allotment from the CDC is going to vaccinate students.Audio Here

Delaware's getting more than 18 thousand doses of the injectable vaccine and nearly 6 thousand of the nasal spray version.

Rattay says there were 36 confirmed cases of H1N1 flu in Delaware last week, bringing the state's total since October 4th to 17 hundred 91.
