When it comes to vaccinating students against H1N1 influenza, should the kids get the shots in school or after hours?
At least one superintendent is going against the wishes of his city's health department
The executive director of Brockton's Board of Health, Louis Tartaglia, wants kids to have the shot during school hours because he says this will result in the highest level of participation
Brockton's superintendent, Matthew Malone doesn't agree. He says students will be offered the vaccination after school because he doesn't want to disrupt learning. Malone told The Brockton Enterprise he believes many parents will want to be there to support their child when they get the shot
Tartaglia maintains lots of parents have busy schedules and after hours will be difficult for them
