ASHLAND, Ore. - Ashland School District nurses will be distributing the H1N1 vaccine to any student or high risk staff or faculty member who wants it.
 
The district has received 350 doses. Ashland nurses say all Rogue Valley school districts will eventually receive doses. The Jackson County Health Department is working with other school districts to get H1N1 flu clinics scheduled.
 
"I'm not sure where we are with the other school districts. But I think because we have this infrastructure in place we got it a little earlier," Family Nurse Practitioner Judy Blickenstaff said.
 
There will be a clinic at the Rogue River Elementary School Tuesday. Next week the health department will set up clinics in Medford.
