Long County Health Department to Hold Back-to-School Immunization Clinics
July 7, 2010 - The Long County Health Department will host "Back-to-School Days" July 29 and August 3. Long County residents are encouraged to bring school-aged children in for hearing and vision screens, dental exams, and immunizations. The Health Department will hold special immunization clinics from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 29, and from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, August 3.
"We want to make it as convenient as possible for parents to bring their children in to get vaccinated," said Kathy Rowell, Long County Health Department Nurse Manager. "It won't be long before school starts back and getting children vaccinated now means being able to avoid the back-to-school rush."
The Long County Health Department can help parents determine what immunizations their children need before going back to school. For more information, please call the Health Department at 545-2107.
