School flu vaccine sign-up to close soon
9/8/2025
Vaccinating your kids at school is convenient, easy and protects them from the flu (influenza). It also provides protection to keep your family, school and community healthy throughout the year. There's still time to sign up so your child can receive the flu vaccine at school.
Online sign-up is quick and easy. The deadline for signing up, whether online or with paper forms submitted at the school office, is Sept. 10 at 11 p.m. No late online or paper forms will be accepted.
The School-Located Immunization Program (SLIP) provides flu vaccines to students in kindergarten through grade 12 at:
- Most Olmsted and Mower County public and private schools.
- Hayfield, Kasson-Mantorville and Triton Public Schools in Dodge County.
- Pine Island Public Schools.
- Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton School in Waseca County.
- Cleveland School in Le Sueur County.
The program is supported by Mayo Clinic, Mayo Clinic Health System, Olmsted Medical Center and Olmsted, Dodge and Goodhue County Public Health Services.
The flu vaccine will be offered in the schools as an injection or nose spray (as available). Non-drug, pain-lessening options will also be offered. Teachers in elementary classrooms can play a short video to ease their students' concerns.
To sign up or learn more about the program, visit the school flu program website at semnic.org.
