Flu vaccinations for students

The Logan-Elkhorn Valley Health Department is encouraging all parents to vaccinate their children for the H1N1 flu. They are not sure when the vaccine will be available, but they plan to get to each school and do a large group vaccination clinic when possible.
Permission slips and vaccine information statements will be sent to the schools when more information is available regarding the actual date of the clinic. These permission slips will be sent home with the parent and will have a definitive return by date so that the proper amount of vaccine can be issued. These forms will be very important. They will hold the information parents will need to base the decision of getting their child vaccinated.
