Flu Shot Clinics for Maricopa County Schools Arizona

Q. What vaccines are available at the school based immunization clinics?
A. The Novel H1N1 “Swine Flu” Vaccination and the Seasonal Influenza (“FLU”) Vaccinations (if it is available at the time of the H1N1 clinic).

Q. What type of H1N1 formulations of vaccine are available at the Maricopa County Arizona school vaccinations school based immunization clinics?
A. The type of H1N1 vaccine available at the Arizona school based clinics is dependent upon what is released by the CDC to the State and County each week. The current mix of H1N1 vaccine includes formulations that are either administered by injection or by nasal / inhalation.

Q. What types of Seasonal Flu formulations of vaccine are available at the Arizona school based immunization clinics?
A. Mollen Immunization Clinics purchases seasonal flu in the injection formulation for its community based clinics. We also receive seasonal flu from the AZ vaccine for the Vaccine for Children program (VFC) that includes both injection and nasal / inhalation formulations. In the school based immunization program, children that are covered under the Vaccine for Children’s program will have both vaccines available. Those children that are covered under a health insurance program will be administered the injection formulation that Mollen purchased direct.

Q. Which vaccine formulation, nasal mist or injection will be administered to my child in Arizona at the school based clinics?
A. Through a set of screening questions asked during the registration process, the formulation of vaccines that are available for each child is determined. The answer to these questions is used to ensure that each child is administered the appropriate vaccine. Typically we will have both vaccines available and administer both during the clinic based on parent’s responses to the pre-screening questions.

Q. Are Maricopa County children and teachers able to receive the seasonal flu vaccine at the same time as the H1N1 vaccination?
A. You have the option of signing your child up for both the H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccinations via the online enrollment. We will administer both vaccines provided supply is available for the seasonal vaccine at the time the school clinic takes place. 

Q. Can I request the nasal spray instead of the vaccine administered through injection for my child at the Arizona school based program clinics?
A. We are unable to offer an option for one formulation or the other due to the limited amount of H1N1 vaccine that is available from Maricopa County to provide to our schools. The formulation administered through injection will be first utilized in those children who are unable to receive the nasal formulation due to a pre-existing condition or contraindication identified in the screening process. We are not guaranteed quantities of how much of either vaccine formulation that will be available to bring to each school. If there are any concerns about having your child vaccinated at school, please ask that they meet with their doctor for more information before signing up your child for a school based immunization.
 
Q. Will my child require a second dose of the vaccine?
A. Children that are under the age of 10 will require a second dose of the H1N1 vaccine approximately 1 month after the initial dose. Children under the age of 9 will require a second dose of the seasonal flu vaccine approximately 1 month after the initial dose.

A. There is no cut off time for enrolling your student using the online registration process at www.FluShotsUSA.com/schools. However, if you register your child online less than 48 hours prior to the school clinic, you are required to have your child bring in a copy of his/her consent form that is generated as part of the online registration process. If you pre-register your child 48 hours in advance of the school clinic, the child is not required to bring in a copy of their consent form as the information is preprinted and sent to the school clinic.

Q. Will Mollen Immunization Clinics be able to provide Maricopa County school students vaccinations whose parents show up the day of the event and wish to complete the consent form at the time of the clinic?
A. On the day of the clinic we will have consent forms available for students and teachers that would like to receive the vaccination but were unable to complete the online registration in advance of the clinic. A Parent or Guardian will need to be present to complete and sign the child’s consent form. The information must be reviewed and verified by the Mollen staff. Each district and or school will establish their own policy on when, where and how to manage this process within their school.

Q. What happens if I forget to print my child’s consent form, how can he/she get a copy of it?
A. The student’s patient consent form is not necessary if the child has been pre-registered 48 hours in advance of the scheduled school clinic. Upon the completion of the registration process, if you have provided an email address during the registration process, an automated confirmation email is sent to you that contains a confirmation # and links to the website to reprint the consent form if necessary.

A. Yes, we have developed an easy enrollment process for families with multiple children through our online pre-registration process at www.FluShotsUSA.com/Schools

Q. Why do I have to provide a credit card number during the online registration process, isn’t the H1N1 vaccine free?
A. It’s true that the H1N1 vaccine has been provided by Maricopa County but the administration cost required to deliver the vaccination is not free. In many cases this cost is covered; either partially or fully, by your insurance plan. This is why Mollen Immunization Clinics requires a credit/debit card for use in the event that your insurance information is incorrect or invalid, or if the plan requires a co-payment. A credit card or debit card with the MasterCard or Visa logo is required. The credit/debit card will only be charged the balance if the insurance does not fully cover the cost of the immunization(s) and will not be charged until after the vaccine(s) has been administered.

Q. What if I want to pay with cash?
A. We are currently accepting credit cards (MC/Visa/AE/Discover) or MC / Visa Debit cards for self- pay in addition to insurance through the online registration process. If the school districts offer an additional option to complete a paper consent form and self-pay is required, then; cash, check or charge cards are acceptable. If insurance or an AHCCCS plan is selected, and the parent is not present, then a photo copy of the insurance card (front and back) needs to be accompanied with the student’s paper consent form.

Q. If I provide Debit or Credit Card information and my child is not eligible for the vaccination, how do I remove my Debit or Credit card information from the database?
A. Please refer to the privacy policy on www.FluShotsUSA.com/overview/C124  that explains how your information is private and protected. If you still want your card information removed, please send a formal letter request with your name (as it appears on the card), address and phone number and explanation of what you would like to have removed to:

Q. What if I do not feel comfortable filling out the information to get my child vaccinated online and instead would like to attend the pre-scheduled event at my child’s school and fill out a consent form onsite. Is this allowed and if so, how do I proceed? 
A. The majority of parents register their children online for the school based immunization program. With the approval of the District / School, we will offer paper student consent forms for those parents who are unable to complete the registration online. You will need to fill out and sign the student consent form and provide payment and/or insurance information. The School Administration will determine if you will be permitted to attend the school clinic event with your child or not. We will be prepared to vaccinate students with both online consent forms and paper consent form authorization.

Q. What if I do not have an email address?
A. Providing an email address during the online registration process is extremely helpful and key to the way that Mollen provides you with information regarding the clinic and the vaccination records. If you select that you do not have an email, you will still be able to register your child for the school based immunization clinic scheduled at your child’s school, but you will not be able to receive any email notifications without an email address. We strongly encourage you to sign up for a free email address prior to registering online to take advantage of the program.
