HNH Immunizations, the company that provides our flu vaccines, will hold a vaccine clinic at SMS on March 2, 2021. They will be offering, free of charge, TDaP (Tetanus booster required at age 11 and before 6th grade), MCV (Meningococcal), and HPV-cancer prevention. Although TDaP is required for 6th grade, you are NOT required to get the vaccine from the school. You can always choose to get this done at your child’s physician’s office. The MCV and HPV vaccines are optional. Consent forms went home last week with the face-to-face students. If your child is virtual and you are interested, please reach out to the nurse and a consent form can be sent to you. Your child will NOT be able to participate unless the consent form is filled out and turned in to the school nurse. If you have any question about whether your student has had these vaccines or not, or for any other questions, please reach out to the school nurse. jennifer.osborne@tcschools.com or call 334-283-2151 and ask for the nurse.

New update from the Alabama Dept of Public Health.
While the ideal length of quarantine continues to be 14 days after last exposure, If 14 days of quarantine is not practical, 10 days is acceptable.
This means if you are without symptoms you can return to normal activity on day 11 only if you continue to Closely Monitor for symptoms. If you have symptoms, isolate and seek medical attention
