*** Please note that if you plan for your child to receive the nasal spray form of both the regular seasonal flu vaccine and the 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine, they cannot be given on the same day and must be separated by at least 4 weeks. If your child is receiving both the seasonal and H1N1 vaccination through the Stop Flu at School vaccination project, the proper interval will be ensured. In contrast, the shot (injectable) form of both the regular seasonal and the 2009 H1N1 flu vaccines or a shot of one and a nasal spray of the other can be given on the same day or separately at any time. |
The School-based Vaccination Program is an innovative partnership between the State of Hawaii Departments of Health
and Education, the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools and Hawaii Catholic Schools. It aims to improve the
health of Hawaii keiki, families and kupuna by preventing the spread of harmful influenza viruses.
Through the program, all children attending Hawaii elementary and middle schools will be offered FREE seasonal flu
vaccine at school, during the school day. Teachers and school staff can also receive the free vaccine. The program
is voluntary for schools and students. Vaccinations will begin in October 2009.
