Flu Mist is Safe, Effective and Free!

Attention Parents/Guardians:

Once again, it’s time to register your child for Flu Mist. Flu Mist is an influenza vaccine that is a gentle mist sprayed into the nose. It’s a safe and effective way of preventing the flu in your child and in the rest of your family.

All students will be offered the Flu Mist nasal spray vaccine at NO COST TO THEIR FAMILIES! However, if your child has health insurance, we are required to collect that information and bill the company for the vaccine. There will be no co-pay or deductible. Children without insurance will receive the vaccine for free through the Vaccines for Children program. Your child’s health insurance will stay confidential.

To take advantage of this program:
  • Please complete and submit the consent form by clicking next at the bottom of this page.

  • Print and fill out the consent form and return it to your child's school, or fax to (352) 334-7947, or email it to SLIV@flhealth.gov, within 14 days (email may not be a secure method of communication).
  • You or your child can pick up a printed copy of the packet at their school's reception desk.

Home schooled and Virtual learning children may also receive the FluMist at the school on the scheduled date. Your school will let you know when your child will be receiving FluMist.

Staff will review your child's form to determine if they can receive Flu Mist. You will be contacted if your child is ineligible to receive Flu Mist. If your child cannot get Flu Mist, we strongly recommend you arrange for a flu shot as soon as possible.
