Important information for parents of school-age children
RCHD is working with schools in the Richmond community to provide free H1N1 vaccination to students. A completed vaccination permission form is required from parents or guardians of students to allow them to be vaccinated. Students under age 10 will require two doses of vaccine to be fully protected.

The Richmond Health District is working with the City of Richmond, community partners and local health providers to ensure that everyone will have an opportunity to obtain the H1N1 vaccine as it becomes available to the community. Following guidance from the Virginia Department of Health, the vaccine will be provided to identified priority groups and then to all persons who want vaccine protection. The Virginia Department of Health will be the distribution agent for the vaccine and is providing allocations based on population and risk factors to localities throughout the commonwealth. Vaccination of school-age children is a priority as they are among identified at-risk groups for H1N1 virus infection. Visit our H1N1 guide for more information.
