April is Adolescent Immunization Month. Our school nurses and the Orange County Health Department want to offer an incentive to help motivate our adolescents to get vaccinated.
To be eligible for the contest, a student will need to receive at least one vaccine, meningococcal vaccine, between 4-1-11 and 5-31-11. The student will need to take proof of the meningococcal vaccine received to the school nurse by 10:00 AM on 6-1-11. The school nurse will then enter the student in the contest. The student will have 2 entries for having received the meningococcal vaccine.
Additionally, if the student receives a Tdap and/or a HPV vaccine between 4-1-11 and 5-31-11, he/she would receive one entry for each when the record is provided to the school nurse. A student receiving all 3 vaccines would be entered 4 times.
Again, to enter, the student will need to provide the school nurse with a record of vaccines received between 4-1-11 and 5-31-11and one of those vaccines must be meningococcal vaccine. Records of vaccines received are due to the school nurse by 10:00 AM on June 1, 2011. Later that day a school system administrator will select 3 winners:
• A fifth grade winner of an ipod
• A middle school winner of an ipod
• A high school winner of a laptop
Parent(s) of each winning student will be notified.
On the following day or so, the superintendent or another administrator will visit the school of the each winner and present the winner with his/her ipod or laptop. The student will be unaware that he/she has won until he/she is presented with the prize. SURPRISE!! We will then take a picture of the winner with his/her prize for the local newspaper.
