In response to a new directive from Public Health, we are required to return the vaccination consent forms to the students. Although it states that the bottom section (Screening by Nurse) is to be completed by the nurse prior to vaccination, we have been instructed to have parents/guardians complete the last three questions. The Public Health nurse is responsible for only the first question: “Are you/your dependent sick or do you have a fever today?” Please complete this and return the consent as soon as possible. Without authorized written consent, the student will not be vaccinated. Please ensure your student’s health card information is completed in the upper right hand corner of the form.
