OOLOGAH, Okla. (AP) - State health officials say a meningococcal vaccine clinic set up for students and employees in the Oologah-Talala school district has been canceled because of a possible snowstorm.
The Oklahoma State Department of Health said the vaccine would be administered at a clinic until 7 p.m. Friday, but the one set for Saturday won't be open.
Dr. Kristy Bradley, the state epidemiologist, says 461 doses of vaccine were distributed in the first hour of Friday's clinic.
Health officials set up the clinics after seven children contracted the disease. Two of the children have died.
Officials say a public health nurse will be available from March 22 through March 26 at the Omni Medical Clinic in Oologah to administer vaccine to those who haven't received it.
