No H1N1 Vaccinations at Local Jail

Correctional officers at the Saint John Regional Corrections Centre are concerned about not getting H1N1 vaccination. A caller to our newsroom tells us the clinic was scheduled for today, but was abruptly cancelled late Friday afternoon.

The employee says no reason was given, and for the past two weeks every employee was strongly encouraged to get the shot. With the centre filled to capacity, the employee says it's concerning because neither the workers or the inmates have received the vaccination.

We've placed a call to centre and the provincial government to find out the reason for the postponement, but with no response.
