Schuyler Middle School

Message from the Principal

Dear Parents,
The East-Central District Health Department is offering the opportunity for all eligible students to receive the H1N1 Flu Vaccine at the school or a neighboring school site. At this point a date and time have yet to be determined--East-Central will contact the school with specific information once the vaccine is obtained. In order to plan for the number of students requesting the vaccination, parents must fill out the screening and consent forms and return them to the school by October 15th. There is NO charge for the H1N1 vaccine.
Please note that the consent form asks whether or not you would like your child to receive the nasal mist or the injection. Flu mist may NOT be available in the schools through the on site clinics. If you would like to have your child receive the flu mist, you may call the Vaccine for Children Clinic at the Health Department (402) 562-8956 and schedule an appointment for your child to get the mist. There will be NO charge for the vaccine in the clinic.
This vaccine will be given to only children capable of tolerating vaccinations independently; they will not be restrained. If your child is fearful, please call the Vaccine for Children Clinic at the Health Department (402) 562-8956 and schedule an appointment. This also free of charge.
Please complete the form carefully as the vaccine cannot be given if it is not properly completed. This vaccine is for Schuyler Community Schools' students only. The date for the immunization clinic is to be determined by the Health Department as vaccine is received.

Thank You,

Robin Stevens, Superintendent of Schools
