📢 Respiratory Vaccine Clinic Reminder 💉 Langdon Area Schools hosted the respiratory vaccine shot clinic today! Just a friendly reminder that if your student experiences mild symptoms tonight, it may be a normal reaction to the vaccine. If you missed today’s clinic, there’s another opportunity! They will be hosting a second shot clinic on Friday, October 17th at the Cavalier County Health Office— perfect timing since we do not have school that day. Stay healthy, Cardinals! ❤️
