MCVA Flu Shot Clinic
Hi MCVA family, Nurse Dana here. I wanted to remind everyone about the upcoming Flu Shot Clinic. I cannot stress enough the importance of receiving a flu vaccine this year with the current pandemic going on.
I've included the information flyer and consent form again below if you missed it the first time. Please consider coming in to get vaccinated. It is vital that we do not have a flu pandemic on top of the COVID crisis.
Also, we have added an additional time on our schedule if you cannot make the morning times. Please see schedule:
Thursday, October 15th
8:15-Elementary grades 3-6
8:30-Upper grades 7-12
12:45-1:15-anyone that cannot make morning times
Location: Madison Co. Career Tech Center, 1275 Jordan Rd. Huntsville
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
