Seagoville Middle School students receive donated flu vaccinations

Seagoville Middle School students have a much better shot of staying healthy after Albertsons recently donated and administered more than 100 flu vaccines at the campus.

“With the current flu epidemic, it's great having one of our most dedicated partners, Albertsons, step up to the plate to offer protection to the students of Seagoville Middle School," said Tom Hayden of the Dallas ISD Strategic Initiatives and External Relations Partnership Office.

Albertsons has previously helped Dallas ISD students by being a part of the Pat amp; Emmitt Smith Charities Back to School event. Albertsons and Tom Thumb spokesperson Connie Yates said the grocery store is committed to giving back to Dallas ISD.

"Tom Thumb and Albertsons are honored to have provided flu shots for some of the students in Seagoville Middle School," Yates said. "It is our desire to help keep our communities, and most especially our children healthy and safe."
