Students at 125 New York City public schools received the Mexican flu vaccinations yesterday, in the first phase of the city's operation to inoculate every school-age child in the city. Only children whose parents signed a consent form were administered the nasal spray, though some received shots instead.
The New York City Health Commissioner, Dr. Thomas Farley, said, "The vaccine is safe, the virus is here, the virus can be serious, so people should receive the vaccine."
