From the Nurse
St. John School is hosting the second annual Vaccine Clinic tomorrow, 10/6 for those students who have registered. Recall the clinic update, which was emailed to families on 10/3:
Safeway Pharmacy has not received a supply of the updated COVID-19 vaccine for students ages 5-11. Therefore, the school is doing the following:
- Students ages 12+ will be able to receive the updated COVID-19 vaccine at the clinic. Note: Students do NOT have to bring their COVID vaccine cards to the clinic – this is no longer a requirement.
- ALL students will be able to receive the Flu vaccine at the clinic.
- We will hold another student vaccine clinic at St. John once Safeway Pharmacy gets the updated COVID-19 vaccine in stock for ages 5-11.
- Student vaccine clinics at St. John will not be able to provide updated COVID-19 vaccines for students under age 5.
Please be advised there is a possibility that vaccination will not be completed for your student(s) if they have a particularly difficult time during the clinic. This will be communicated to parents if it occurs.
IMPORTANT: If you have not submitted a consent form, print it out and have your student bring it with them to the vaccine clinic tomorrow. Without a signed consent form, your child will not be able to participate in the vaccine clinic.
Please reach out to Dora Hall, ARNP, school nurse, with questions at dhall@st-johnschool.org.
