Dear Beck Community,
Texas Vaccine will be at Beck Junior High offering:
“SEASONAL” flu Shots
Thursday, September 3rd
1:30 – 7:00 pm
This year the CDC is recommending getting the Seasonal Flu vaccine as soon as possible and to get the Swine Flu vaccine when they have it ready for groups with high risk. The swine flu vaccine will be distributed by the government when it is available.
2 choices on the “SEASONAL” influenza vaccine:
1. FLU SHOT: about 80% effective. For people between 6 months to any age. Cost : $20.00
2. FLU MIST (inhaled nasal spray): almost 100% effective. For people 2 to 49 years old. People have to be healthy, without asthma and not pregnant. Cost: $30.00
It is not recommended for those who are allergic to egg products or people with a fever.
Adult vaccines also available:
Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis, recommended every 5-10 yrs)- $30.00
Pneumonia Vaccine (for people 50 years and older): $45.00
Medicare is accepted for the flu shot and Pneumonia Vaccine.
Please remind your students to wash their hands often and cough into a tissue or arm- not their hands.
Flu information is available on the KISD website.
You may contact me with any questions.
