H1N1 Student Absence Policy and Vaccination Information
Provo School District is working closely with the Utah County Health Department and encourages parents to be aware of seasonal flu and H1N1 flu symptoms. Provo School District Flu Student Absence policy states: Students and all employees with flu symptoms will be excluded from attending school and work until they no longer have a fever, or signs of a fever, without the use of fever-reducing medicines for 24 hours.
The Utah County Health Department has received its first shipment of Novel Influenza A H1N1 vaccine and will start administering it to county residents on Thursday, October 8, 2009. This first vaccine is available in nasal spray form only, and is suggested for use by otherwise healthy individuals between the ages of 2 to 49.
Vaccination Clinics will begin Thursday at the Utah County Health and Justice Building (151 S. University Ave, Provo) and continue while supplies last. Thursday the clinic will be open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and re-open on Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The vaccine is free, but UCHD may bill insurances for administration fees. People are being asked to bring their insurance cards with them.
Residents are encouraged to check with the Utah County Health Dept. website or call the Utah County Health Information Line at 851-2222 for exact availability.
Attached is a letter and brochure from the Utah County Health Department outlining flu details in regards to prevention measures, flu symptoms, treatment suggestions, vaccination update and Web sites with additional information.
