IMPORTANT H1N1 UPDATE

Public Health has changed the make up of the priority groups to receive the vaccination. The priority groups now are: children, pregnant women only over 20 weeks, and face to face health care workers. This affects us in that school staff, parents and younger siblings will NOT the vaccine on November 4th at the school clinic and will be offered the vaccine at a later date. We continue to try to update our school community with this new information as we receive it. We encourage families with any questions or concerns to please call Public Health at 1-800-580-0038 or visit their website at www.gnb.ca/flu

Parents of K-2 children may still attend the clinic with their child but will no longer be offered the vaccine.
