Attention parents!
HHS seeks children who received flu shots

Parents of children under age 9 who received their first flu shot at either the HHS drive-through clinic in October or the HHS walk-in clinic in November should bring them in for the second dose.

Children must receive a two-shot vaccine series the first time they receive the flu vaccine. Those who received the first flu vaccine in the fall are due to return for the second dose.

Forms parents completed at the HHS clinics did not require phone numbers for staff follow-up, so parents are responsible for making sure their children get the necessary second shot.

Call 720-887-2220 for an appointment or more information.
