Since good health is essential for optimum growth and achievement, the major objectives of the school health program are to provide health services to students and to stimulate the development of those attitudes and practices which will enable each child to realize his or her fullest potential. Klein ISD employs a registered nurse at each campus to provide health services for all students.
The flu vaccine is now available at all HCPHES Health clinics for children (age 3 and older) and adults.
The cost is $12 per person. The flu shot is given on a first come first served basis.
Please see flyer and hours for details.
