Updated November 13, 2009

 

I am pleased to announce that the Huntington Beach Union High School Nurses in partnership with the Orange County Health Agency will be offering FREE H1N1 (swine flu) vaccination clinics to all interested high school students enrolled in our school district.  The clinics will be held every Tuesday that school is open throughout the months of November and December.  See the schedule below:

 

H1N1 Vaccination Schedule 1:00 – 5:00

 

Tuesday, November 3   (Completed)	Ocean View High School OVHS students only, 1:00 – 3:30 p.m.
Tuesday, November 10   (Completed)	Westminster High School WHS students only, 1:00 – 3:30 p.m.
Tuesday, November 17	Marina High School MHS students only, 1:00 – 3:30 p.m.

H1N1 Vaccine available for any HBUHSD students at any site from 3:30-5:00

 

The H1N1 inactivated flu shot is approved for individuals ages 2 through 64. This is the vaccine that we will make available to high risk HBUHSD staff members for free as well.  See this link for more information on the H1N1 flu shot vaccine. 

 

All students will need an ID and parent consent form signed. Further the Orange County Health Agency Nurses will require a questionnaire to be filled out before students can be vaccinated.  The questionnaires will be completed at the clinics as a pre-screening tool. The consent form is available prior to the clinic.

 

I look forward to providing vaccination clinics to our students and high risk staff so that the obstacle of illness does not impact what we do best, educate our young people so they can have successful futures. I want to thank all staff and community members involved in making these clinics possible as it is a large undertaking in these busy days.
