The DeKalb County School system is partnering with the local health department to offer flu vaccines to students this month, starting Wednesday October 1.
” With the partnership through the local health department, we will be offering flu immunizations for all schools,” said Dee Anna Reynolds, Coordinated School Health Coordinator. “Those dates are October 1 for Smithville Elementary; October 8 for DeKalb Middle School and DCHS; October 9 for Northside Elementary School; and October 16 we’ll be doing those at DeKalb West School. Parents we’re asking that you keep your eyes open for those flu immunization forms that are coming home with your children and get those back to school as soon as possible,” she said.
“We’re also going to be starting a flu clinic for our faculty, and staff. We have a partnership with Rite Aid to do all faculty and staff flu immunizations and that will be on Wednesday, October 1,” added Reynolds.
