The City of Burleson's emergency management division, the Burleson Independent School District and Tarrant County Public Health will team up to provide free H1N1 vaccinations to the public on Tuesday, February 23, 4-7 p.m., at Hughes Middle School.

The vaccinations will be administered on a first-come, first serve basis.  The shots are available to everyone, including the elderly, who did not have access to the vaccine when it was first released.  Children must be accompanied by a parent and must be at least 6 months old to receive the vaccine.  TCPH officials will have both nasal vaccines and vaccine injections.  You are not required to bring any medical records to the vaccination clinic, but will be asked to fill out forms supplied TCPH.

You do not have to be a Burleson resident to take part in the vaccination clinic.  TCPH will  supply the free vaccines, BISD will provide the location and the City will provide police officers for crowd control and fire fighters to help watch and assess patients after the vaccinations are administered.

The Burleson Independent School District has invited Smile Texas to bring its preventive dental care program to BISD schools in February because the district knows how important good oral health is to children's overall good health.

The Smile Texas team will set up a mini-dental office in your school and can provide dental examinations, cleanings, fluoride treatments and sealants (if appropriate) for all children who return the completed forms.

The following is when the mobile dentists will be at your campus:
