TULSA, OK -- Students and staff at 19 Tulsa schools will be receiving a free H1N1 vaccination.

Dates for the second and third groups will be announced by TPS once the health department informs the district.

Group 1:

  • Cooper Elementary, November 3, 9 a.m. - Noon
  • East Central, November 4, 9 a.m. - Noon

Parents will be responsible for acquiring the second dose either at the health department's physical offices or at another vaccination site.

Consent forms from the health department and TPS are available for download at www.tulsaschools.org and will be sent home with students prior to each vaccination date.
