School aged children are 3 to 4 times more likely to contract flu than adults.  The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now recommends yearly influenza vaccination for all school aged children.  Even in healthy children flu can lead to serious complications and millions of school days are lost to the flu each year.   As a result, the Putnam County Department of Health will again be offering FREE flu vaccination for your child at his/her school this fall.  

Making FREE vaccination available to your child during the school day eliminates additional demand on your time and your child will be better protected from influenza. Immunizing the student helps to keep the larger community safe as well.
