School Flu Clinics Set in Edgartown, Tisbury

The next round of school flu vaccination clinics has been scheduled — the Edgartown School will have its clinic on Thursday, Nov. 18 and the Tisbury School is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 19.

Vineyard schools superintendent Dr. James H. Weiss has sent notices and forms to parents at all Island schools notifying them that vaccination clinics for the students have begun.

The decision to continue the clinics with Edgartown and Tisbury schools was based on quantities of available vaccine. Also, the deadline for return on forms sent home from the Oak Bluffs School and the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School was Nov. 21 or later.

Those schools will have clinics scheduled in collaboration with the superintendent as soon as additional vaccine arrives, according to Ron MacLaren, health director of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) and the coordinator of the clinics for the Martha’s Vineyard Public Health Coalition.

The school clinics are only for the enrolled students at that particular school.
