O’Brien County Public Health will be conducting an H1N1 immunization clinic at South O'Brien Community School on Fri, Nov 20. They will be located at the Primghar site, in the lunchroom from 3:30-6:00 pm.
Parents/guardians must accompany any student in the elementary, grades ECSE-6th.
Students in grades 7-12 do not need to have a parent/guardian present, and those who have turned in signed permission slips will be bussed to Primghar on Friday for the H1N1 immunization clinic. This will be done during the school day and your child will be back to their school before the end of the day in time to ride the busses home or attend athletic practices. Permission slips were distributed with report cards. You also may call the high school office for a copy. You may send the signed form to school anytime.
