Flu Vaccine Clinic

Hello Davis School parents/guardians/caregivers,

I hope this email finds you well and your school year is off to a good start! For those of you I haven’t met, I’m Jackie, the Public Health Nurse for the town.

The Health Department will be offering a flu vaccine clinic to Davis School students on Thursday, October 30th during the school day. The clinic will offer both the traditional flu vaccine and the intranasal flu vaccine (FluMist). Attached to this email you will find the Vaccine Information Statements (VIS) for both vaccines.

It is required that you register your student in advance of the clinic. Please note that there are limited spaces available and registration will close on October 16th.

We do collect insurance. If you are uninsured and experiencing hardship, please contact me to see if we can make accommodations.

To register your student for the Davis School flu vaccine clinic, click this link: https://home.color.com/vaccine/register/bedford?calendar=1d9f999a-a031-42fb-b212-a18fd86be67b&site=davis-school-1. Please note that you will have to choose an appointment time as part of the registration process – this is a default in the system. Please choose any time available – students will be called down based on teacher, not based on appointment time.

If you are unable to make this clinic, Bedford Health Department’s Town-Wide Clinic will be offering traditional and intranasal flu vaccine to those 3 years of age and older. Please go to the Health Department’s Vaccine Clinic Information – Community page to find the link to register.

Please email me with any questions at jbarmashi@bedfordma.gov or call the Health Department at 781-275-6507.

Sincerely,

Jackie Barmashi, BS, BSN, RN

Public Health Nurse
