Metro Public Health Department expands access to immunizations ahead of new school year
The Metro Public Health Department (MPHD) is working to ensure all families are able to receive the vaccinations their children need ahead of the return to class. Expanded clinical hours and community-based pop-up clinics are scheduled throughout August to ensure students can receive all required and recommended vaccinations for the school year. Students are required to show proof of immunizations prior to kindergarten and 7th grade entry. Students new to MNPS are also required to show proof of immunization.
The Metro Public Health Department is offering expanded immunization hours at its three preventive health clinics through the end of August. Expanded immunization hours are specific to each MPHD location. Families with children in need of immunizations are encouraged to make an appointment by calling your location of choice.
