Vaccinations: Give back-to-school preparations a real shot in the arm

In the calm before the storm that is back-to-school, parents are encouraged to resolve student immunizations as early as possible to avoid the inevitable back-to-school rush in clinics, doctor’s offices and medical facilities throughout the city.

The law requires that students be fully vaccinated against specific diseases before attending school. Now’s the time to have your student vaccinated early and avoid the back to school rush. Low cost immunizations are available for eligible students at the district’s Youth and Family Centers and the county’s health clinics located across the city.
