In an effort to be proactive and support LPS families, a flu clinic was offered Sept. 26 to all Ludlow Public Schools students and children of LPS employees. District Health Care Coordinator Kristen Bunten said this clinic was made possible through a cooperative effort with the local Walgreens, which has partnered with LPS to provide flu shots to staff since 2013. “We are very grateful for Walgreens continued support over the years. and for assisting us in expanding the clinic to provide students with flu shots this year,” Bunten said. “Now that the state is mandating in- fluenza vaccines to be administered to all students by Dec. 31 of this year, this clinic is an awesome way for the district to support families to be compli- Courtesy photos ant with this new regulation,” Chapin Adrian, Christian and Steven Martins Maxwell Orszulik receives an inoculation Street School Nurse Beth Parent, who wait for their flu shots at a recent Chapin Street School Nurse Beth Parent at the recent LPS flu shot clinic. from Walgreens Pharmacist Deanna Soja assisted during the clinic, said. clinic held by LPS in partnership with at the recent Ludlow Public Schools flu Bunten also extended a thank you Walgreens. shot clinic. to Walgreens Pharmacist Deanna Soja, who administered the vaccine at the re- Meredith Blackburn, who brought her they had no openings for flu shots,” Ce- it easier for parents to access flu shots cent clinic. son and two daughters. “This was so san said. “When I told them about the for their children.” Bunten said more than 200 students easy; I would definitely come again Ludlow school clinic they said we were Getting a flu shot not only pro- received flu shots during the clinic, next year if offered.” very lucky to have that option and I tects the individual, but the communi- which was held on a Saturday.
