It’s that time of year again – cold and flu season. The CCUSD School Nurses are happy to offer FREE Flu vaccinations to all students. This year’s flu vaccinations offer protection from both H1N1 and the seasonal flu. The nasal sprays are available to all healthy, school-aged children. We have a limited supply of flu shots for those who are not eligible for the nasal spray. If you are interested in your child receiving the Flu Vaccine at school, please complete and sign the attached consent form (vaccine information statements are available on the ccusd website for your review) and return it to the front office before the scheduled date. The Flu clinic dates are as follows: Lin Howe Oct 19 El Rincon Oct 20 La BallonaOct 21 Farragut/OCD Oct 22 High School Oct 26 El Marino Oct 27 Middle School Oct 29 This year, we will complete our vaccination of all interested CCUSD students and employees before we make any vaccinations available to family members. So, after October 29th, if we still have a large supply of vaccinations available, we will host a one-time flu clinic and offer vaccinations to family members on a first-come, first-served basis. Other resources for community and family members include: your primary care provider, local drug stores/pharmacies (i.e. Rite Aid, CVS, Pavilions, etc.) or the LA Public Health Department will be hosting a flu clinic pod at the Veteran’s Memorial Bldg on 11/17/10 from 9AM – 3PM.
