SMS Flu Clinic 21-22
October 1, 2021
Dear Middle School Families,
The Middle School will be having an influenza vaccination clinic on Thursday, October 28th at 7:30 a.m. We will be partnering with Northern Light Home Care & Hospice to provide this clinic for our students. Please click on the link below and complete the consent form by October 21st. You must type something into all highlighted fields, so please use NA if it doesn’t apply. Although the vaccine is provided at no charge, there is a cost to administer the vaccine. We appreciate it if you include accurate insurance information. Children presenting with an incomplete form will not receive their vaccine. There is no out of pocket cost and those without insurance will be vaccinated with the appropriate form completed.
Scarborough Schools Influenza Consent
You will be notified if there is a change in the planned dates of school flu clinics. The Vaccine Information Sheets are included in the link after the consent form. Please take a minute to read these.
If you need a translated form or are unable to complete an electronic form, please let the school nurse know and we will send a paper form home.
For information about flu and the vaccine go to www.maineflu.gov. For questions about the flu vaccine, call Maine Center for Disease Control & Prevention (Maine CDC) at 1-800-867-4775, Monday through Friday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm.
For questions about the vaccine clinics at your school, please call your school nurse at (207) 730-4800.
Sincerely,
Diane Nadeau, Ph.D.
Assistant Superintendent
