The Vanderburgh County Health Department is hosting a Back-to-School Immunization Clinic. The clinic will be held on July 30th from 2:30 pm to 6:00 pm at the Vanderburgh County Health Department. School supplies, food, prizes, and vendors will be onsite. Children are eligible to be seen if they have Medicaid, no insurance, and some private insurance. Pre-registration is highly encouraged to reduce wait times. Those who pre-register will also be eligible for additional prize drawings. Visit vanderburghhealth.org to register. Walk-ins are required to bring shot records and insurance information to be seen.
The event is being sponsored by MDWise. They are celebrating their 30th anniversary of providing services to Hoosiers. MDWise was founded in 1994 in Indianapolis, Indiana, where their home office is still located.
Immunizations are the best way to protect your child from many serious diseases that can spread easily in the school setting. Vaccines are due for all students entering kindergarten, 6th grade, and 12th grade. Those entering other grades may need catch up vaccinations. Contact your child’s healthcare provider to find out if they are up to date.
For questions, you can contact the Vanderburgh County Health Department 812-435-2400 option 1.
