Southern State Community College will offer two H1N1 vaccination training sessions from 9 a.m.-12 noon and 1-4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7, at North Campus in Wilmington. In association with the Clinton and Fayette county health departments, Southern State will offer the required training free of charge. 
"On Oct. 7, 2009, Governor Strickland officially declared an emergency," says Dr. Carol Cunningham, State EMS Medical Director, "that affects the public health due to the national H1N1 influenza pandemic and the additional human resources that Ohio's public health agencies will need to quickly receive, distribute, account for, and provide vaccine to as many Ohioans as possible. 
"Governor Strickland's declaration of emergency allows only EMT-Intermediates and EMT-Paramedics who are certified under Section 4765.30 of the Ohio Revised Code to perform H1N1 immunizations and administer drugs or dangerous related to the H1N1 virus provided they have received appropriate training and are under physician medical direction." 
Upon successful completion, participants will be awarded a certificate of completion for three hours of EMS continuing education credit. 
Registration is limited to 30 participants per session. To register, please contact Kris Hilgeman at 1-800-628-7722, ext. 5500, or khilgeman@sscc.edu. For more information about the training sessions, please contact EMS Program Director Bruce Fugate at 1-800-628-7722, ext. 4530, or bfugate@sscc.e
