Parkview is committed to improving the health of the community. That’s why the Parkview Community Nursing Program is once again working with area schools and health departments to deliver the FluMist® program — a series of free flu vaccination clinics. Parkview participates in this initiative each year to help prevent the spread of the flu by vaccinating as many children as possible. In addition, we have assembled resources and provide websites that offer information about the influenza virus and how to help protect you, your family and community members against the flu.
The program begins in late October in numerous Allen and Noble County schools. To check if your child’s school is participating, see the lists below.
We encourage parents and guardians to read the flu facts sheet, parent or guardian letter and FluMist consent form.
