Pepin Academies Prevents Spread Of Flu Illness With New Program

RIVERVIEW, FL — Pepin Academies in Hillsborough County and Pasco County has been accepted into the Lysol + Kinsa FLUency health program, which means that all Pepin families will receive free Kinsa smart thermometers that have a store value of $24.99.

Pepin staff hopes this helps stop the spread of illness during flu season and during the coronavirus pandemic.

“This school year is unlike any other, as our nation continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic and its widespread impact,” Inder Singh, Kinsa founder and CEO said. “Never has the need for real-time insights been greater, empowering schools to make data-driven decisions to keep their students healthy and learning. We’re excited to work with Lysol again to bring the free FLUency program to thousands of schools to help provide these insights.”

Catherine Hernandez, registered school nurse at the Pepin Hillsborough County location said the health and wellbeing of our students and teachers is our top priority, while continuing to support learning and education.

The FLUency program, now in its sixth year, will help nearly 350,000 families this year across almost 4,000 schools in the U.S. and Canada. Click here to watch a video of FLUency.
