Chickenpox Outbreak at Anthem K-8


by: Florence Unified School District

Over the last few weeks, 13 cases of chickenpox (varicella) have been identified in students at Anthem. Because of this, we are working with the Pinal County Public Health Services District to provide vaccines, with parental permission, to Anthem students who have had less than the recommended two doses.

Chickenpox has NOT been reported at any FUSD school other than Anthem; however, for those who are in need of vaccination who do not attend Anthem K8, Pinal Public Health offers routine vaccination through the county’s public health clinics.  Please call 1-866-960-0633 for clinic locations and hours.  Primary care providers may also be able to provide routine vaccination.
