Join Us. Let’s Fight Flu Together!

Register by midnight on Friday, May 1, 2009 Four local PTAs will receive $250 each to be used for the promotion of their Let's Fight Flu Together! influenza vaccination clinic! Winners will be randomly drawn from all registered PTAs. |
The Let’s Fight Flu Together! program is an on-site influenza vaccination clinic that your PTA can host in your school or a community center during the September – January influenza vaccination season. By registering for your clinic now, your PTA can select a date that works best for your school and community. Consider hosting an influenza vaccination clinic at a fall family night, football game, report card pick up, or other school activity.
Influenza vaccines will cost $25 per pre-registered vaccine and $27 for each vaccine paid for on site. Flu Mist* will be available for $30 and must be pre-registered. $1 per vaccine is donated back to your PTA to use for additional health and wellness programming**. For more information, visit pta.org/flushotclinics.
Help keep kids safe. Host an influenza vaccination clinic next fall!
