Dear Parents and Guardians,



Flu season is coming and the Berkeley High School Health Center (BHSHC) is
offering *FREE FLU SHOTS for ALL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS*.



Any 9th-12th grader enrolled in Berkeley High School (BHS), Berkeley
Technical Academy (BTA), or Independent Study, regardless of whether or not
they have medical insurance, can get a flu shot. Following CDC guidelines,
we are not offering nasal vaccine spray (for more information, visit:
http://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2016/s0622-laiv-flu.html)



A *Health Center Consent Form and Flu Consent Form* (both are attached to
this announcement) must be filled out by the parent before the student can
receive the flu shot.



The BHS Health Center is open Monday to Friday 8:30-4pm and we are closed
4th period.



If you have any questions about the free flu shot for students at the
BHSHC, you can contact us at 510-644-6965.



*Getting the flu may be mild for some people, but can be serious for those
with chronic illnesses such as asthma, diabetes, heart diseases, and kidney
disorders. Caregivers of children and pregnant women are also strongly
recommended to get their flu vaccine as well.*



*FLU SHOTS FOR FAMILY MEMBERS*

Please note that flu shots given at the Health Center are for students
only. For Parents and Staff looking for free flu shots in the community,
The *Ann Chandler Public Health Clinic* will host their free flu shot
clinic starting Monday September 26th. These free flu shot clinics are open
to the community and will take place only on *Mondays from 9-11am and 1-4pm*.
Location: 830 University Ave, Berkeley, CA 94710. Clinic Phone: (510)
981-5350 <%28510%29%20981-5350>.
