School Flu Vaccination Information

Annual flu vaccination is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older. Influenza is a respiratory virus that can spread easily from person to person. Getting the flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself, your family, and your community from the flu.

Several health departments in the Coastal Health District will schedule voluntary flu vaccination clinics in the fall. All enrolled students will be eligible to receive the flu vaccine in the form of a shot (injectable) or nasal spray.

If your school is participating, and if you would like for your student to be vaccinated at the school-based flu vaccination clinic, then you should complete, sign, and return the Parental Consent Form to your child’s school as soon as possible. If this consent form is not filled out completely, signed, dated, and returned before the event date, your student will not be vaccinated at the school-based clinic. 

All children are eligible to participate regardless of insurance status. We are asking for insurance information and a copy of your insurance card because we may be able to bill your insurance for a small administration fee to help support school-based flu clinics this year and in the future. If your insurance does not agree to pay the fee or you don’t have insurance, you will not be billed by us or your insurance company.
