A seasonal flu vaccination clinic will be held at the school Wednesday, September 23. The clinic will be administered by staff from St. Francis Memorial Hospital in West Point. St. Francis is providing this service for all Cuming County schools.
Permission forms will be sent home with the students and must be signed and returned if the parents want their child to receive the shot. There is a $20 charge to cover the cost of the vaccine. The payment must accompany the permission form.
Students are not required to get this shot. This is a service provided to parents so the students do not have to leave school and miss classes to get vaccinated.
This is a vaccination for seasonal flu, not H1N1, also known as Swine flu.
