Flu Clinics This Fall

Preventing disease and keeping our children healthy is a priority for all of us. One of the best ways to protect our children is by vaccinating them against known illnesses.  Schools can play an important role to keep our children healthy and stop the spread of the flu.  That’s why Lincoln K-8 has partnered with a team of nurses from Olmsted Medical Center, Mayo Clinic, and public health to offer the flu vaccine to students this fall. 

National experts are recommending against anyone getting the nasal spray this year. All school and local medical clinics will only provide the injection. The school flu program will provide non-medication pain relief for children.

Lincoln’s  flu clinic will be on Monday October 10^th in the afternoon.    Registration is required and can be completed through the registration link at http://www.semnic.org/schoolfluclinics.aspx. Online registration is preferred. Paper registration forms are also available in the main office. Registration closing dates are available on school at the above link and on school’s website. This is a fast, easy, and convenient way to keep our children, our school, and our community healthy throughout the year.  We strongly encourage you to take advantage of this important opportunity.  Questions can be directed to 293-4800 or emailed to schoolflu@mayo.edu.
