Message to Families - Updated Flu Information 01 04 21

January 4, 2021

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health updated the mandated influenza vaccination for all K-12 students extending the deadline from December 31, 2020 to February 28, 2021. The new guidance states:

"Students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 will be required to receive influenza vaccine for the current influenza season for school attendance unless they have a medical or religious exemption. Students must receive influenza vaccine for the current season by February 28, 2021."

If you have not already done so, please send documentation of your student's flu vaccination to your school nurse by February 28, 2021.

Sincerely,

Dr. Anthony Azar
