Why Vaccinate?
Vaccination is the best way to protect your child from this potentially serious disease. The 
Sedgwick County Health Department is working with USD 261 to give the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine to children.
Children 6 months to 9 years of age are expected to need two doses of vaccine spaced about 3 weeks apart. The first dose will be given at the clinic, the second dose will be given by the Sedgwick County Health Department at 2716 W Central or your family doctor. There will be no cost to you for this vaccine. Children and young adults aged 10 years to 24 years will need only one dose.

Sedgwick County Fast Fact on H1N1
Parent Notifications
USD 261 Haysville is carefully monitoring reports about H1N1 from the Sedgwick County Health Department and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Given the number of reported cases of seasonal flu and H1N1 in our area and the fact that health and safety precautions for each are the same, USD 261 will no longer send home individual influenza (flu) notification letters to parents/guardians.
Please remember the importance of good hand washing to prevent any illness. Also, while attendance is important, keep your child at home when your child is sick and
until fever-free without medication for 24 hours before returning to school.
