Influenza, also known as the flu, is a serious illness that affects people of all ages. Last year was a bad flu season. Many people got very sick or died. One of the best ways to prevent the flu is through vaccinations. Once again, we will work with the Maryland Partnership for Prevention (MPP), the state’s immunization coalition, to offer flu vaccinations at your child’s school.
The clinic will be at River Hill high School on Friday, October 12, 2018. We will send a notice home the day he/she has been vaccinated. If you want your child to receive a flu vaccination, fill out the hard copy consent OR the online consent. DO NOT FILL OUT BOTH. (RHHS staff will have a seperate online sign-in procedure)
ONLINE CONSENT FORM INSTRUCTIONS
Fill out the online consent form at www.vaccineconsent.com. This is a secure, private site.
OR
PAPER CONSENT FORMS
Read the Vaccine Information Statement, which can be found at https://tinyurl.com/HoCoFluVis
Fill out and return the Flu Consent Form. Be sure to:
We hope that you will join our fight against the flu. Vaccinating your child will help keep him/her healthy and prevent the spread of flu to others. It will also cut down on missed time from work and school. We look forward to preventing the flu with you!
