H1N1 Vaccine Offered Wednesday At Bratt, Byrneville Elementaries; Print Permission Form

November 16, 2009

Voluntary H1N1 vaccination clinics will be held for students at Bratt and Byrneville elementary schools on Wednesday; permission forms must be returned by Tuesday.

Vaccination is voluntary, free and offered only to students; these are not vaccination clinics for the general public, according to Molly Payne-Hardin, spokesperson for the Escambia County Health Department.

Bratt and Byrneville will be the third and fourth North Escambia schools where the vaccine has been offered to students. Voluntary H1N1 vaccinations were given on October 28 at Jim Allen Elementary and November 12 at Molino Park Elementary.

“We will get to every school but right now are only able to forecast out one week in advance because of vaccine supply,” Payne-Hardin said.

Vaccine information sheets and permission forms were sent home with students on Thursday. Parents that did not receive a permission form can click here to print a permission form and information sheet. Alternatively, parents can call Bratt at 327-6137 or Byrneville at 256-6350 to request another form.
