It's now confirmed that a student in the Pembroke Central School District died from Swine Flu (H1N1) nearly two weeks ago. "As with every school district, the Pembroke Central School District does understand the concerns that exist in every community relative to H1N1," School District Superintendent Gary Mix said.

A family member of the student says, the parents of 5th grader Jared Peters were told Monday by the Genesee County Health Department that their son died from H1N1 and that more tests are still being done. He attended the Intermediate School, which is grades three through six and has about 300 students. The superintendent says they continue to stress the importance of good hygiene to help prevent future cases. "From the start of the school year we have stressed universal precautions and good hygiene including frequent hand washing, coughing, and sneezing etiquette as well as the importance of staying home if there are flu-like symptoms in order to minimize the spread of H1N1," Superintendent Mix said.

A parent of a student in the district says she's concerned about her own child's health and other loved ones. "Friends and family that go to school here and it's very awful about this child that passed away," one parent said.

The Genesee County Health Commissioner Randy Garney says the health department is holding an H1N1 vaccination clinic on Thursday from 2 to 4pm at the Genesee County Building Number Two in Batavia. About 500 vaccines will be available. "It's open to the public but targeted populations, caregivers of children under 6 months, children 6 months to 24 years, healthcare providers who give direct patient care, and people 25 to 65 with underlying chronic conditions," Garney said.
