SCPHN partners with school districts throughout Strafford County every fall to provide no-cost flu shots to students at K-12 schools in the region. We also partner with community organizations to offer flu shots and other vaccinations like COVID-19 to both children and adults at no-cost.
SCPHN prioritizes schools and communities where people are more likely to have challenges getting their flu shot like people with transportation issues, those who are under- or un-insured, and those who aren’t connected to a doctor or healthcare provider.
How you can prevent COVID, flu and other respiratory illness from spreading:
- Get vaccinated! If we are not hosting a vaccine clinic in your school or area, you can visit your doctor’s office, pharmacy, or urgent care to receive your flu shot.
You can find information on the influenza vaccine in the Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) here. - Wash your hands! Make sure to wash your hands frequently to help reduce the chance of spreading germs.
- Keep your hands off your face! Avoid touching your eyes, nose & mouth to keep out any germs you may have picked up along the way.
- Cover your coughs & sneezes! To stop the spread of germs that can make you and others sick.
- Stay home if you’re sick or don’t feel well! This will keep you away from others and keep you from spreading a possible illness, like the flu, to others.

Volunteer with our Clinics
Our School- & Community-Based Clinics rely on clinical and non-clinical volunteers to help us provide vaccines to people in our communities. We are always looking for volunteers to lend a hand during clinic season. Join our Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) on NHResponds to volunteer with us! Click Here to Join our MRC!
Clinic Volunteer Training:
Our medical direction provider, OnSite Medical, has a checklist of training for both medical (vaccinators) and non-medical volunteers. You can find those checklists & more information about volunteering with our vaccination clinics on our Volunteer Page here.
