Free Seasonal Flu Shots Available To K-12 Students

October 8, 2009 - Wake County is partnering with public, private and charter schools across the County to provide free seasonal flu shots to all school-age children in Kindergarten through grade 12, beginning Tuesday, October 13, 2009. Please note that seasonal flu vaccinations are separate from the H1N1 flu vaccinations also being offered by Wake County.

The vaccines will be offered at 21 clinic sites throughout the County. Students may attend any clinic offered, regardless of the school they attend or where they live. A parent or guardian must accompany all students receiving the vaccine, regardless of age.
