PARENTS AND OTHER ADULTS
The influenza vaccine will also be available to the wider ASFG community on both days from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Upper School Building parking lot, accessible through Door 5.
Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to receive the vaccine at Door 5.
Community members who are not ASFG staff may schedule an appointment here:
Influenza vaccination is especially important to protect vulnerable populations and to help reduce the burden of respiratory illnesses while SARS-CoV-2 continues to circulate. The influenza vaccine can be administered at the same time as or at any interval before or after a COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine provided will be Mexinvac by Sanofi (trivalent, covering influenza A and B ).
Reminders regarding the influenza vaccine:
Children 5 to 8 years of age who have not previously received two doses should receive two doses one month apart, followed by one dose annually.
Children 9 to 18 years of age should receive one dose annually, regardless of prior vaccination history.
Infants under 6 months of age should not be vaccinated.
Do not get vaccinated if you have a known egg allergy or a history of allergic reaction to a prior influenza vaccine.
Do not get vaccinated if you have a fever of 101.3ºF or higher.
