On Wednesday October 21, 2009,  permission slips for the H1N1 vaccination were sent home to parents.  If you did not receive it on Wednesday, you will get it on Thursday.  These slips need to be returned to the school by October 26th.  The  dates to Immunize Gretna Green students are November 4, 2009 and November 25.  Children under the age of 10 will need to receive 2 vaccinations. Parents will be notified if the dates for these vaccinations change.   Zone 7 Miramichi, Public Health,  are going to have several information sessions regarding the vaccination prior to the children receiving it.  Please note  attached schedule below regarding information sessions planned for Zone 7 Miramichi.  As well, there is a web link attached from Public Health that will also help  answer the questions you might have.  As educators and parents, we recognize that this can be a difficult decision to make for your child and we encourage you to attend one of these sessions. Parents are welcome and encouraged to accompany their children when they receive the vaccination.  As soon as a schedule is created, we will send it home and post it on our website. http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/alert-alerte/h1n1/vacc/myth-mythe-eng.php We will post new information as it becomes available.
