PTA, Novartis Vaccines, and Flu Busters have joined together to fight the spread of influenza through a program designed to educate, motivate, and vaccinate children, families, school staff, and other members of the community—Let’s Fight Flu Together!

What?
Influenza season is fast approaching, and receiving an annual vaccination is the best defense in preventing this serious and potentially deadly disease. Our PTA is working with Flu Busters, a leading provider of on-site vaccinations, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, and Novartis Vaccines to help children, their families and members of the community get vaccinated against influenza.

Why?
Many people underestimate the seriousness of this contagious illness. Families should consider receiving an annual vaccination because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommend that all children from six months to 18 years of age should be vaccinated against influenza.

Where?
Stevenson Elementary, 3333 Oak St, Burbank 91505

When?
October 10th, 9.00 am.

How Much?
For the 2009-2010 flu vaccination season, the cost of injectable vaccine for those who pre-register is $25 each, and a “walk-in” will pay $27. For pre-registered nasal spray vaccine, the cost is $30. Anyone wishing to receive the nasal spray MUST pre-register.
