Flu Shot Clinic at H-BC:
Sanford Luverne Clinic, H-BC School District, and the Luverne Area Community Foundation will be offering flu vaccines to all children enrolled in grades K-12. Sandford will bill your insurance for the flu vaccine if you have coverage. However, through collaboration with the Luverne Area Community Foundation, all out-of-pocket and non-insured costs will be covered for school-aged children.
The in-school flu immunization clinic is scheduled for Wednesday, October 9, 2024.
To receive the flu shot, the consent forms must be completed and returned to the school by Friday, October 4, 2024. The form is attached and one was sent home with each student.
For more information about this free flu shot clinic, contact Lois Leenderts, RN, school nurse, at l.leenderts@isd671.net.
