HARRIMAN, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Health department officials are now taking the campaign to keep your children safe from the H1N1 virus to the schools.

Wednesday, they took H1N1 shots and mist to Roane County schools and the mist to Knox County schools.

Well, some parents think it's absolutely wonderful.

But Tonya Baughman was visibly anxious over her two daughters getting the vaccine.

She feels there's not enough reserch on the vaccine yet.

Letting her daughters get the vaccine was optional.

But she now feels she made the right decision.

"I've been a nervous wreck and still am because it's a hard decision to make, very hard," says Baughman.

For Tonya Baughman, the decision to get her two daughters vaccinated wasn't an easy one.

"It's a hard decision, very hard, because for me there's not enough research on the shot, the medicine," says Baughman.

But more than 160 students at Bowers Elementary School in Roane County signed releases to get the mist or shot form of the H1N1 vaccine.

That's something that Karlene Briley supports both as a parent and the school's counselor.

"I really feel that the immunizations that we're providing for our students is going to be bettern for them in the long run," says Briley.

Principal Candace Lett says, "I do remember in the 1950's having a polio sugar cubes at school."

For Lett, it's been a long time since she can remember vaccinations in school.

But some love the idea because it keeps the kids with their peers instead of a doctors office.

"I think it's great because it's convenient for a lot of parents, especially when they have to be at work," says Briley.

While many school districts have had to call school off for days because of the flu, Lett hopes this is the ounce of prevention that brings a pound of cure.

"Hopefully we will not have the absences that we might have if we had a flu epidemic," says Lett.

So what tipped Baughman to get her daughters vaccinated. Well, it was a first hand experience.

"Because I had the swine flu and was down for eight days. Eight days I could not move out of bed and nothing gets me down so if it gets me it's pretty serious," says Baughman.

Vaccinations continue on Thursday and Friday in Knox County.

On Thursday beginning at 8:30 am vaccinations are set for children at the Episcopal School of Knoxville.

As well as Powell, Ball Camp, Sequoyah, Ritta, and Pleasant Ridge elementary schools.

As far as Tonya Baughman is concerned, she said both of her daughters went through the vaccinations just fine.

And the dirty looks she got from them just before they were vaccinated were wasted.
