Message to Parents/Guardians re Human
Papilloma Virus Vaccination Clinic During School Closure, June 2020
Immunization is a very
important public health measure in maintaining the health and wellness of a
population. Public Health Nurses were
unable to provide the grade 7 Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) second dose of the
vaccine in April due to the closure of schools.
The grade 7 HPV immunization
clinic to provide the second dose has been scheduled for:
DATE Thursday June 11 and Friday June 12
CLINIC LOCATION Hampton Middle School GYMNASIUM
All grade 7 students who have
previously returned a signed consent form, (in the fall of 2019), and have
received the first HPV vaccination, will be offered the second HPV vaccination,
to complete the two-dose series.
We will be adhering to strict
social distancing guidelines during the immunization clinic and we ask that
students:
· arrive at the school at their designated time frame (see
below)
· wear a mask or scarf, covering their mouth and nose
· enter the school alone
o
The process will
take ~30 minutes so parents are
welcome to wait in their vehicle or leave the school property and return to
pick up their child within the ½ hour time frame
o
If your child
requires an aide or assistance, you are welcome to accompany him/her to the
clinic however, you must also adhere to social distancing guidelines and wear a
mask
· practice hand hygiene and cough/ sneeze etiquette
· wear a short
sleeve shirt to ensure easy access to the arm
Staff will meet students at
the lower entrance of the Gymnasium and
ensure the 2-meter (6 foot) physical distancing. They will have hand sanitizer,
to provide to the students, as well as masks for those who do not have adequate
mouth and nose coverage.
If on the day of the clinic,
your child has any of the symptoms outlined on the gnb.ca/coronavirus site, please call 811 and do not go to the
school. An appointment to
receive the second HPV vaccination can be scheduled at your local Public Health
office by calling 432-7527 press 1, once your
child is feeling better.
Every effort should be made
to attend DURING your designated
time slot listed below. If you
require an alternative time, please call Carmen
Atkinson Public Health Nurse at 434-3849 prior to the clinic to schedule an
appointment for your child’s immunization.
