Georgetown County parents must turn in their consent forms today to their children's schools if they would like their students to receive free H1N1 flu vaccines Nov. 2.

There will be no makeup days to receive shots for those who miss the scheduled dates.

Children who are in pre-kindergarten through third grade will need to have a parent or guardian present to receive the shot.
