Dear Middle and High School Parents:
The Health and Human Services Department is pleased to offer seasonal influenza vaccine to middle and high school students. Both the intranasal flu vaccine (FluMist®) and the flu shot will be available to students during the school day in October. A fee will be charged for the vaccine.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all children aged 6 months through 18 years receive a seasonal flu vaccine each year. Flu vaccination is one of the best ways to avoid getting the flu.
