Thank you from Kupu Kupu!
The team from the Kupu Kupu Foundation has shared these photos along with their thanks for the generous clothing and food donations from the BIS Community last month. Kupu Kupu is also very much looking forward to attending the Holiday Market where they and three other local not-for-profit organisations (Ragam Foundation, Mountain Mamas/ Bye Bye Plastic Bags and Bali Life Foundation) have been invited to hold fundraiser stalls as guests of the PTA.
We plan to schedule an optional influenza vaccine clinic here at BIS on Wednesday, November 30th, 2022, by BIC CLINIC. 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 before the holiday break begins. It will be available to anyone in our community: staff, teachers, parents, and students. Please click here to sign up ASAP as the clinic needs to order enough vaccines by Saturday, November 26th, 2022.
Details
- Time: 2:00 – 4:00pm, next Wednesday, November 30th
- Location: BIS Covered Courts
- Cost: 425.000 IDR
Requirements: Signed consent form (available in the front office). A parent or guardian must be present for any primary students to receive the vaccine. Secondary students can receive the vaccine with a consent form only. Please bring cash payment to school that day.
The vaccine being given is the Vaxigrip Tetra, made by Sanofi pharmaceuticals (France). It is a quadrivalent vaccine that contains 4 types of influenza Viruses: Influenza type A (H3N2&H1N1) and Influenza Type B (Victoria and Yamagata). This is not a live vaccine and therefore it is not possible to get the flu from the flu vaccine. More information about vaccines and influenza is attached below.
