Swine flu (H1N1) vaccination clinics resume in Treasure Valley schools this week.
The Central District Health Department (CDHD) will vaccinate students for H1N1 in the Mountain Home and Kuna school districts this week. Vaccinations are free and optional. Students will receive the nasal mist version of the vaccine, unless there is a medical reason that prevents them from doing so.
