Dear Parents/ Guardians,
In partnership with Lincoln Health and the Family Care Center, Influenza vaccinations will be offered to BRHS on Tuesday October 3rd. This will be a one-day flu clinic. If you would like to have your student receive the flu vaccine at school, we must have your permission slip returned to the school nurse no later than September 25th.
* Please read the vaccination information sheets @ https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/vis-statements/flu.pdf.
* If you would like your child to receive the influenza vaccination, please complete the Health Screen & Permission Form on the back of this letter and return it to the school no later than September 25th. This form must be filled out completely or we will be unable to give your student the immunization at school.
* The flu vaccine itself is offered at no charge to students under 18. There may be a small administration fee charged to your insurance. A personal charge may be incurred if not covered by insurance.
* This will be the only day flu shots are offered at the school.
