[Mjhsteam] MSD - H1N1 virus vaccinations update

[Faye Nagler]

Update on HINI Vaccinations to be provided by the Public Health Department:
 
The Public Health Department contacted Moscow School District this week to inform us that enough nasal spray vaccine has been received to provide free vaccinations for students younger than age 10.  That population will need two doses of the nasal spray vaccination.
 
Moscow School District will cooperate with the Public Health Department so that parents who elect to do so may get their children vaccinated.  On Monday, all K-5 students will bring home an informational packet from the Public Health Department.  Included with be the Public Health Department’s Parental Consent Form.
 
We are requesting that parents bring their school children younger than 10 along with the Parental Consent Form to the clinics as outlined below.  DO NOT send consent forms to your child’s teacher or school.  Bring them directly to the clinic.
 
After school clinics will be as follows:
 
1.  Nasal Spray HINI Vaccination for MSD school children in Grades K-5 who are under 10 years of age.  Children in MSD’s Developmental Preschool are also invited to participate:
Thursday, November 12, 3:30-6:30 PM, Moscow Junior High School Multi-Purpose Room
 
2.  Nasal Spray HINI vaccination, second dose, for MSD school children under 10 years of age who received the first dose of the nasal spray vaccination on November 12.  At this time, public health officials anticipate that the enough vaccine will be in Moscow to enable the health department to administer the HINI flu shot version of the vaccination to MSD’s K-12 school-aged population who have parental consent forms. 
This second, dual purpose clinic will be on:
Thursday, December 10, 3:30-6:30 PM, Moscow Junior High School Multi-Purpose Room
 
If you have questions about the vaccines or the vaccination clinics, please call Public Health at: 1-866-736-6632.  The health department also suggests that parents visit the following websites:  www.idahopublichealth.com or www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/ or the link on MSD’s website.  Also, your child’s health care provider may be able to give your child the 2009 H1N1 vaccine.
