Longleaf Elementary has partnered with Health Hero Florida to offer no-cost in school vaccinations to your child during the school day. The date and time is still being determined and will be shared once it is assigned to the school.

To register your child  — complete the consent form that is attached to this e-mail and send it back to your child's teacher. 

Health Hero Florida makes immunizations available to every child in an effort to stop diseases like the flu in their tracks, and reduce absenteeism in schools. For more information about Health Hero Florida, visit www.healthheroflorida.com. 

Flu season normally peaks between December and February, and can last all the way through May, so fall clinics are the perfect time for your child to receive a flu vaccine. 

We encourage you to register your child to participate in Health Hero Florida's in-school immunization program. Thank you for your help as Longleaf partners with Health Hero Florida to stop the flu in its tracks!

5. Will you vaccinate virtual (e-Learning) students? When we come onsite to your school, we will be vaccinating brick and mortar students only at this time.
