The Henry and Stark County Health Department is partnering with local schools to prioritize student and staff well-being with flu shots. Health officials will visit the school on Monday, October 20th, from 9 AM to 2 PM, for a flu shot clinic. Families are reminded to submit consent forms no later than Wednesday, October 15th, to ensure participation. For those unable to attend, a make-up date is possible. More information, including a letter and official notice from the Health Department, has been distributed to parents and guardians. This initiative aims to maintain a healthy learning environment for everyone on campus. The letter from Wethersfield School District and the consent form are linked below.
Parents are asked to provide consent and insurance details in advance; however, officials emphasize that the vaccine will also be accessible for those without insurance coverage. No flu shots will be given on the day of the clinic because insurance needs to be processed first, including for children without insurance. The district encourages participation as flu season approaches, aiming to keep both students and staff healthy throughout the coming months. Further details can be obtained through the school’s administration office.
