Dear Parents/Guardians:
Vernon County Health Department will be offering Influenza vaccine to all children/students free of charge in the Westby School District. We will administer at Westby Elementary, Middle and High School on Tuesday October 3rd and in Coon Valley Elementary on Wednesday October 4th.
We are enclosing a consent form for your signature along with a Vaccine Information Form that discusses the vaccine. Please review the materials and return the signed consent form to the school secretary or classroom teacher no later than Monday October 2nd if you want your child vaccinated. If you are not interested in the vaccination, do not send the form back. No vaccinations will be given without written consent returned to the school. If you have a child in afternoon Preschool and would like them vaccinated, please bring them to the school around 830 AM.
If you have any further questions/concerns, please feel free to contact the Westby School Nurse, Tiffany Jothen, RN, BSN or Vernon County Health Department. We look forward to seeing your children. It is very important that we protect children from complications of Influenza.
Sincerely,
Tiffany Jothen, RN, BSN Emily Olson, RN, BSN
