HPV Clinic on Campus!

UPDATE: We had 41 girls participate in our clinic. Thank you to all parents and a special thanks to Amy and Ramona at the Stoddard County Heath Center!!!


January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. This month Bloomfield Schools, along with the Stoddard County Health Center will be hosting an HPV clinic for all girls 18 and under attending both the middle school and the high school on Friday, January 23rd. There is no cost for the vaccine. Information will be sent home containing details about the vaccine for girls in middle school. Girls in high school are free to pick up the paperwork in the office. Permission slips will be included in this paperwork.

Please have your daughter's permission slip turned in to me no later than Friday, January 16th. In addition I have added links to my page, where you can go to read more on HPV and the HPV vaccine. If you have questions, please feel free to call or email me at vwilliams@mail.bloomfield.k12.mo.us, or the Stoddard County Health Dept., at 568-4593.
