Parents and Students,
Patients First Medical Clinic is coming to Steller September 21st (Friday)
to administer flu vaccinations and several other specific vaccinations (see the
attachment). The flu vaccination is $20. They will be here from 7:30 to
8:30 and will administer the vaccinations in the nurse’s office. If you
are interested in receiving any of the vaccinations listed, please let me
know. The second attachment has an article about the importance of receiving
flu vaccinations especially for those people with neurological disorders and
neurodevelopmental disorders. The flu vaccination is also safe for pregnant women.
Time Magazine has an interesting article that addresses the effects of the 1918
flu epidemic seen decades later. That link is below.

ASD is not going to be giving free flu vaccinations this year except in a
very limited amount to specific schools, so please take advantage of this opportunity.
Thanks,
Anne Mccarron
School Nurse
Steller Secondary School
