Shot Clinic scheduled for February

    The Caribou School Department Health Services office will be offering a tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap) clinic in February. This clinic will be free to all children 11-18 years of age within the Caribou School System.     Paper work for those students needing a Tdap immunization will be sent home with the child’s progress report. This paperwork will need to be returned by January 24.
    If a child does not need the immunization because he/she has received it at a physician’s office, parents and guardians are asked to please bring in the student’s shot record to be copied or have a provider ‘s office fax it to 493-4254.
    State law requires that the Caribou School Department’s Health Services view the actual written immunization record as provided by the health care provider. Information cannot be taken over the telephone.
    Anyone needing more information or having questions are asked to contact the school nurse’s office at 493-4255.
