FLU VACCINE
St. Mary's County Health Department and Maryland Partnership for Prevention will be offering flu vaccines in the SMCPS elementary and middle school settings once again this year. The date for Park Hall Elementary is Friday, October 22. If you would like your child to receive the vaccine, you must complete the online registration prior to 10/14/2021. There will be no exceptions for late registration. If your online registration is not complete, or your child has a symptom or medical condition that the vaccinator feels puts your child at risk to receive the vaccination in the school setting, your child will NOT receive the vaccination even if you registered. In that scenario, you will need to contact your child's healthcare provider to make arrangements for the vaccination.
Linked here is a letter from the health department regarding the flu clinics. This link will take you to registration specifically for Park Hall Elementary.
