Flu Clinic Coming to Belle River on Friday, September 26th

In partnership with Alana's Foundation, it is our pleasure to offer free on-site flu vaccinations to students attending East China Schools this year.  

2014 at Belle River Elementary. Just fill out the paperwork and send it back to school with your child. You do not have to be present. Students will receive the mist during the school day.

 

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.  Click on the following link to read about Alana's Story:

At Health Heroes, we specialize in on-site flu vaccination clinics.  There is no need for parents to take time off work, check their children out of school, and stand in long lines to receive an annual flu vaccination.  Clinics will be staffed with two (2) state-licensed nurses and one (1) administrative person.   Flu 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.  Student participation is voluntary.

 

FluMist®, the LAIV Quadrivalent pain-free, nasal spray vaccine will be provided. Flu Zone® IIV4 or injections are also available.  Please complete and sign only one consent form -white form is for the FluMist (LAIV) and green form is for the FluZone (IIV4).  To request a green form for

the injectable FluZone (IIV4), please contact Health Heroes at 888-621-5520.   Both LAIV and IIV4 have been demonstrated to be effective in children and adults; however, several studies have indicated superior efficacy of LAIV in children.  Side effects from the LAIV and IIV4 are considered comparable.

If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact Health Heroes at 888-621-5520. We hope to see your child in clinic!
