Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
The Nodaway County Health Department and Maryville Middle School are partnering with one another to bring a seasonal influenza (flu) vaccination clinic to your child's school. Our hope in doing so is to decrease the impact of seasonal flu in our community and to decrease school absenteeism. The voluntary flu clinic will be held on Tuesday October 8th, 2024 from 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. If you wish to have your child participate in this opportunity, please fill out the attached permission form and return to school as soon as possible.
If your child has insurance, please send a copy of the front and back of their insurance card. The Nodaway County Health Department will be able to file a claim with the insurance company and receive direct reimbursement from the insurance plan at no cost to you. If your child is not insured or is underinsured, there will be a $20 charge on the day of the vaccination clinic. Please send $20 to school with your child on that day. Cash or check will be accepted, please make checks out to Nodaway County Health Department.
Attached to this e-mail you will find the Children's Influenza Consent form. This form is the one that needs to be filled out entirely and returned, with proof of insurance or payment, as soon as possible. You will also find the Influenza Vaccination Information Sheet, which is simply for your information and goes over what you need to know about the vaccination your child will be receiving.
You may submit your consent forms and other documents to the MMS school nurse directly by e-mail to price@maryviller2.com or you may send your consent forms/copy of insurance cards to school with your child and have them turn them in to the nurse's office. If you send your consent form to school with your child, feel free to reach out to the school nurse via e-mail to verify that the child turned the form in.
If you have any questions, please contact the Nodaway County Health Department at (660) 562-2755. You may also contact the MMS school nurse, Cyndi Price, at (660) 671-1321.
