The Alachua County Health Department is offering free Flu Mist to all eligible students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Flu Mist is a gentle mist sprayed into the nose, and it is a safe and effective way to protect your child and your family from the flu. There is NO COST to you for the vaccine. If your child has health insurance, that information will be collected and the insurance company will be billed, but there will be NO co-pay or deductible for families. Children with no health insurance are also eligible for the free vaccine.

We encourage you to read through the Parent Letter, Vaccine Information Statement and Privacy Notice at https://www.alachuaschools.net/o/acps/page/flu-immunization-program-information-2025 then complete the Consent Form (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MB8YG69) and have your child return it to school NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 28, 2026 . You can also email the completed form to SLIV@flhealth.gov.

For more information, please contact the Health Department at (352) 334-7916.
