Flu shots

Published

As in, not many of my students got them. Guess who's school has been hit terribly with flu? Yeah. Does anyone out there offer an in-school flu shot clinic or know of any? I'm thinking ahead to next flu season at this point. Guessing I would go with Public Health in this state, but just wondering if anyone can give me any insight or advice on a flu shot clinic offered in the school. My other district nurses advised against it because of the paperwork involved and major pain it presented.

Does anyone know if in Houston, Texas they have anything services like that? I was thinking of that lately since we had a teacher with the flu here and she would not go home! And I honestly think I'm immune to that crap because I had tons of students with the flu and the teacher cough and sneeze on me and I did not get sick.

I'm outside of Houston, and we had Walgreens come in and do a flu shot clinic for our faculty in the fall. Our district does not offer vaccines to students, but there are several free clinics in the area that we recommend to our students.
