Gila County Public Health Department October flu shots in schools this week

Posted

The Gila County Public Health Department provides flu shots at your child’s school. Each year the vaccine changes to address the current strain of flu circulating. This year’s vaccine covers four flu strains, so it is important for you to provide your child with this protection. We provide the inactive, injectable, and preservative free vaccine only. 

If interested in your child participating in his/her school clinic, please fill out the forms that were sent home with your child and turn it in to either your school or local health department. Additional consents can be downloaded off our county website:
gilacountyaz.gov/government/health_and_emergency_services/health_services/ind. 

We will be at the following schools on the dates listed: Oct. 16, High Desert Middle School; Oct. 17, Destiny School; Oct. 21, Globe High School; Oct. 22, Young Schools; Oct. 23, Charles A. Bejarano; Oct. 24, Lee Kornegay; Nov. 5, Hayden Schools; and Nov. 7, Liberty School.

Please be sure you have written your contact phone number on the consent. Should you change your mind regarding the flu shot, or your child already received his/her flu shot, please contact our office at 928-402-8811 or your child’s school nurse.

All information needs to be completed on the flu administration record and consent form. Please make sure to include insurance information and sign where your signature is requested.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Gila County Public Health Department at 928-402-8811 or contact your child’s school nurse.
