Upcoming Free H1N1 Vaccination Clinics
Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent the flu and keep it from spreading to others. It is also important to remember that getting vaccinated protects the whole community, not just individuals. Information about H1N1 and upcoming vaccination clinics in Los Angeles County can be found at the Los Angeles County Public Health Website.
As a reminder, the H1N1 vaccination clinics are intended for the following priority groups:
- Pregnant women
- People who live with or care for infants under 6 months old
- People who work in health care or emergency medical
services
- People aged 6 months through 24 years
- People aged 25 through 64 years who have chronic health
problems or a compromised immune system.
Please be aware that, currently, the demand for H1N1 vaccine is outweighing local and national supply. As a result, vaccine clinics may close earlier than expected.
If you are NOT in an H1N1 Priority Group, please wait to get vaccinated until supplies increase. More H1N1 vaccine will be available in the next several days and weeks at some chain pharmacies, private health care providers, and community clinics.

Emergency Plan Information
The safety of our students at West Ranch High School is always a top priority. West Ranch High School has a Safe School Plan which includes disaster preparedness and evacuation procedures. If an emergency occurs during class time, teachers will guide their classes to the evacuation area on the soccer field at the rear of campus. If there is an emergency before classes begin, during brunch, lunch, or after school, students are always to report to their 4th period class, regardless if it is a day in which they attend their odd or even classes.
Where to pick up your child if the campus is evacuated:
In the event of an evacuation, students will be released to their parents or an authorized adult, listed on the student’s Emergency Card, at the school’s Student Release Gate. The Student Release Gate during an evacuation is located on the west end of campus by the tennis courts. Please be prepared to present identification to verify that you are on the student’s emergency card. For further information, please follow the link for our Safe School Plan.
