In Alameda County, there are over 100,000 flu-related illnesses per year, and between 200 to 500 hospitalizations due to the flu. Expenses for flu-related illness in Alameda County are approximately $120 million annually. The flu is preventable thru vaccination. “Shoo the Flu” is a program provided by the Public Health Department in partnership with several other agencies to provide flu vaccination to school children from Pre-K to 5th grade, in select schools across Oakland. The program is free and it requires parental consent. The benefits to vaccinating children at school include: •Increased vaccine coverage in school-aged kids •Decreased community-wide transmission •Reduced absenteeism •Cost savings: direct health care costs and indirect: work days lost •Safe and convenient for parents This program is made possible through grant funding from the Page Foundation and this is the second year of a three-year grant. The State Department of Public Health provides the flu vaccines. Other partners include the UC Berkeley School of Public Health, the California Emerging Infections Program and the Oakland Unified School District.
