JULY 14, 2022
The Vanderburgh County Health Department is hosting a Back to School Immunization Blitz on Saturday, July 30th. The event will run from 10 am to 2 pm. In addition to immunizations, several area agencies will be onsite to provide information and services, such as assistance with insurance, connection to primary care, and education on basic childhood safety.

All kids vaccinated will receive a goody bag. They will also have a chance to win one of several prizes provided by local community partners, including gift cards, a bicycle, and an Xbox. Gift certificates for a free haircut from Salon Professional Academy will be available for participants while supplies last! Please call 812-435-2400 option 1 to schedule an appointment for the event. Walk-ins may be accepted as staffing allows. To be seen, you must bring your child’s shot record and insurance information. Accepting clients with Medicaid, no insurance, and some private insurances. Those with private insurance should call ahead of time to verify eligibility.
