Student Flu Shot Clinic

PharMax Imperial will be on campus on Tuesday, September 22 for a student flu shot clinic for students in Kindergarten - 12th grade.  All you have to do is fill out this form and we'll take care of getting to your student that day to give them the flu vaccine.  No appointments need to be made.  Just fill out the form.  You MUST fill out a form for each student receiving the vaccine.
