Stop Flu at School Vaccination Clinic

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We have been advised by the Department of Health that Stop Flu at School Vaccination Clinic has been delayed to January or February of next year.  

We understand if you choose to have your child vaccinated earlier in the flu season with your own doctor.  However, flu vaccination will still be beneficial as long as flu viruses are circulating, even in January or later since flu occurs year-round in Hawaii.  We have decided to continue to offer the flu vaccinations through Stop Flu at School clinic to those who are still willing to participate. 

The Department of Health has not given us a confirmed date, but we will provide updates as information becomes available. 

Thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,

Kelsey Tsuhako

School Health Aide
