Health Hero Vaccine Clinic October 5, 2017

Dear Parent or Guardian,
Working with Red Lion Area School District, Health Hero PA is excited to kick off our
2017 School located influenza vaccination clinics. Flu is among the top vaccine preventable
illnesses. Per the CDC, 25 to 50 million cases are reported each year in
the United States. They lead to hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and tens of
thousands of deaths! Schools are virus incubators, and school children are efficient
virus spreaders – they have the highest rates of infection.
Our Health Hero program is a voluntary flu vaccination at school program that prevents
the disease and reduces student absenteeism. The program has been safely
immunizing children for years. This school year, an estimated half a million-school
children will be immunized via this program.
To help you keep your child well Health Hero will be providing Injectable flu
vaccinations on Thursday October 5th at the Red Lion Area School District. Please
consider having your child vaccinated, help them become a Health Hero, and help us
stop the spread of the flu in your school and homes.
· Our clinics are safe: a doctor oversees the program and only licensed
professionals give the immunizations.
· Our clinics have no out of pocket costs: We immunize every healthy child that
returns a signed consent form from their parent or guardian.
To take part in the Health Hero Program, please completely fill out, sign, and
return the attached consent form to the school. Once your student is vaccinated
they will receive immunization paperwork for your records.
If you have any questions we encourage you to visit the CDC website at
www.cdc.gov/flu Health Hero at www.HealthHeroUSA.com or contact us at

Sincerely,
The Health Hero Team
