Influenza -
prevent a
bad disease
with a
good vaccine!
Vaccination Programs in Schools
When influenza affects children in schools, it can
spread quickly to other school children, teachers, family members, and the
community. School children typically have the highest annual attack rates for
influenza. And, along with working adults, they are major spreaders of influenza
in the community.
The "Say NOse
to Flu" Vaccination Tool Kit
[PDF]
This kit was developed by MedImmune, the sole manufacturer of the
intranasal influenza vaccine. It currently has four components to help
begin planning a school-wide influenza vaccination program. The four
components include an example of a letter to the principal, a
presentation on the importance of vaccination against influenza,
implementation guidelines, and an order form for materials. A larger
toolkit will be available soon. |
