Flu vaccines provided by Lake Hills Pharmacy
The district is partnering with Lake Hills Pharmacy to provide flu vaccines to prekindergarten through eighth grade students from Oct. 15-17 with dates varying by campus.
To receive a vaccine, parents or guardians must complete and return a consent form to their child’s school by Oct. 9. Parents should provide their prescription insurance information or a copy of their insurance card.
Families without prescription insurance must include $20 cash with their child’s form. Uninsured or underinsured children over the age of 6 months can also receive flu shots through Austin Public Health’s immunization clinics.
