ELEMENTARY:
Flu shot clinic at the Elementary on Tuesday the 13th from 2:30 - 8:00 pm for 6th graders and below. Bring your child along to your conference - or come before or after and get them vaccinated. There is a $7 administration fee. Younger siblings that are not yet in school are also welcome!!
JH/HS:
The FLU clinic at the high school will be Friday, November 16th from 8:30 till around Noon. The 2007 Influenza Vaccination record form should be filled out, along with a check for $7 payable to Day County Community Health for the administration of the shot. We need these forms by Wednesday at the latest so we can get an estimate on how many are needed.
Once your child gets the shot they may or may not get a mild reaction - which could be: soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given, fever, and/or aches. If these problems occur, they usually begin soon after the shot and last 1 - 2 days.
Life-threatening allergic reactions from vaccines are very rare. If they do occur, it is usually within a few minutes to a few hours after the shot!! If you have any other questions or concerns, please give me a call # 397-2317.
Thanks - Beth Gustafson, RN
