BENTON COUNTY — T-dap shot required by law

Arkansas state law requires that all seventh-grade students have a current T-dap shot (within the past two years).

If you have a seventh-grade student who needs to get the T-dap, checking them out from school will be considered an excused absence. If you have taken your child for this immunization, please bring a copy of your shot record to the school.

Flu shots available

Flu Shot Clinic will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 10, at the Primary School Gym.

The shots will be given to students only; injections can not be provided to any other family member.

Packets of information will be sent home along with permission forms as soon as they are received from the Health Department.

Volunteers are needed to help with the flu shot clinic.

Nurses are needed to give shots and volunteers to help with paperwork, escorting students and assisting the nurses.
