Bonney Lake High Offering Free Student Vaccinations Today

Bonney Lake High School is offering immunizations and vaccinations to students today, free of charge.

Parent consent is required for immunizations for students under age 18. Forms are available in the Health Room and students over age 18 may sign for themselves.
