LEWISTON — Lewiston schools are asking volunteer nurses to help with giving seasonal flu shots in all Lewiston schools during the week of Sept. 21.

“We’re asking for registered nurses and LPNs with current licenses to volunteer to help,” said Cathy Liquori, Lewiston High School nurse. “We need more nurses to give the vaccination than we have available.”

Lewiston has one school nurse for every school, which is more than many districts. “We’re very lucky,” Liquori said. “Auburn has two nurses for the whole system.”

But one nurse to coordinate and administer shots for all students is not enough, she said.

Any amount of time from volunteer nurses would be welcome, Liquori said.

Volunteers are asked to register through Maine Responds, at www.maineresponds.org

Or, they can contact Liquori at cliquori@lewistonpublicschools.org.
