The VCHD offices will be open until 7 p.m. on all Tuesdays in October, as well as November 9th and 16th, offering the walk-in immunizations free of charge.

These shots may also be available through the students’ regular healthcare provider.

Walk-in clinic hours for student immunizations are as follows:

Monday, Wednesday and Friday……………………..8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Tuesdays (October 5, 12, 19, 26; November 9th and 16th)……….10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Students will need to be accompanied by parent or guardian and all shot records. Shot records may be obtained by calling the school the child currently attends or their healthcare provider. Those students receiving vaccine should wear short sleeves or sleeveless garments to facilitate ease of vaccination. A snack or light meal is suggested beforehand.
