Health Services 2018 -2019 School Year
School
Dear Parent/Guardian,
In partnership with Health Heroes USA, it is our pleasure to offer on-site flu vaccinations
to students this year at Chelsea Middle School on October 17, 2018. The flu clinic will be
offered at this school location during school hours. Health Heroes flu vaccination clinics
are completely voluntary and are offered to ALL consented students, regardless of their
insurance coverage.
Why get a flu vaccine?
The best way to minimize or avoid the spread of flu is to get an annual flu vaccination.
Each year the vaccine protects against new strains, therefore, the vaccine should be
administered annually.
Who is Health Heroes, Inc.?
At Health Heroes, we specialize in on-site vaccination clinics. Vaccines are provided at
NO COST to students. parents, schools or local/state government. We bill both
Medicaid and private insurance; however, we never bill students or parents for any
out-of-pocket expenses or deductibles. Qualifying uninsured students can be given the
vaccine, free of charge. Although student participation is voluntary, these vaccinations
are recommended to help keep schools healthy and cut down on high absenteeism.
What type vaccines will be given?
IIV-4 injections will be available to all consented children who do not have any
contraindicators. All vaccines given are preservative-free, mercury-free, Thimerosal-free
and administered by state-licensed nurses.
What do you need to do to participate?
If you wish for your child to participate, please COMPLETELY fill out and sign a consent
form. These forms need to be returned to school as soon as possible to secure a dose
for your child.
If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact the School Nurse. You can
also find more information at www.healthherousa.com.We hope to see your child in
clinic!
Thank you! Darlene Davis, RN, School Nurse
