Dear Parent/Guardian:
Horizon Health Network Public Health will be offering the second dose of HPV (protection against the Human Papillomavirus) to complete the series that was started at the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year. It is very important to complete this series of vaccines to ensure your child develops the appropriate level of protection from the Human Papillomavirus.
This clinic will be June 5 and will be held at Nackawic Middle School
Due to the Covid -19 Pandemic, and restrictions put in place, this clinic will be run differently then those completed in the schools. Please read the very important directions listed.
