Flu shot update

Another great reason to attend CCV. If your child is signed up for the school based health center and they should be because it doesn't cost you anything, they can get their physicals, some dental, sick care, and now immunizations at the school for FREE. Yes, free!! If you would like to make a $5 donation per visit you can and that money goes towards paying for medications. They have the seasonal flu shot available now for your child. They will have the H1N1 as soon as it is released. Flu shots are rationed from the gov per county so the sooner you can get your childs shot the better. Call Laureen or Sady at the school 689-9230 for more info. The clinic is open on Mon and Thurs but Laureen is usually around. Also, don't forget that the center services students and their sibilngs ages 0-21.

The Flu in Cripple Creek?

Totally UNCONFIRMED (see how I did that?) reports of the h1n1 flu at the school. We all knew that we couldn't avoid it forever, but I suspect that there have probably already been cases here. Make sure that everyone washes their hands and invest in some hand sanitizer. Visit your doctor if you have any respiratory trouble or a fever. I called the Medical center here, but they don't have the flu or the h1n1 shots available yet. I'll try to get a hold of Laureen at the school and see if they are going to have them for the kids. Stay posted.
