QUESTION: If something goes wrong, does the school have liability?

promptly each other if they receive any claim or legal action arising out of activities conducted at Let’s fight flu together!
immunization Clinics.
QUESTION: Why is there a price difference for pre-registered and walk-in participants?
ANSWER: Flu Busters uses the amount of pre-registered clients to base the amount of vaccines to send to each site. To
encourage more pre-registrations to take place, we’ve lowered the cost of the vaccine. In addition, pre-registering allows
each person to pay for their vaccine and choose a convenient appointment time.
QUESTION: Is the school responsible for the disposal of used needles and other hazardous waste from the clinic?
ANSWER: No. Sharps Disposal by Mail System is a complete system for the proper disposal of used needles, syringes, and
any other bio hazardous waste from the clinic. The Sharps Disposal container is shipped with the clinic supplies and the
clinic nurse will dispose of all used needles and syringes using this system. The container is mailed directly to the disposal
center for the safest and most secure method of transport and disposal.
