H1N1 Vaccines Coming to Holton

Starting the week of October 19th, Richmond Public Schools is beginning an initiative to vaccinate all children with the new H1N1 vaccine.

Children under 10 years old will require 2 injections that are 4 weeks apart.

Check your child's backpack for the permission form and more information on the process. Please return your forms to the school by October 15th.
