We plan to schedule an optional influenza vaccine at BIS on Monday, Nov 2 2020.
Influenza season has started in Indonesia. It takes up to 2 weeks to be protected from influenza after receiving the vaccine so we want to give everyone a chance to get the vaccine now and be protected. It will be available to anyone in our community: staff, teachers, parents and students.

The vaccine being given is the FluQuadri, made by Sanofi pharmaceuticals in France. It is a quadrivalent vaccine that contains the same strains as the influenza vaccines currently being given in Asia, North America and Europe. This is not a live vaccine and therefore it is not possible to get the flu from the flu vaccine. Please click the links below for more information on this vaccine.

International Day Celebration
Unfortunately, due to current safety regulations and situations, we will not be celebrating International Day this year. We will, however, move this to the second semester – Hopefully, we will be able to do this face to face but we will all need to plan for both face to face and distance celebrations depending on the situation at the time.
Parents interested in helping to shape this celebration please email us: PTA@baliis.net
