As the new school year approaches, the Howell County Health Department is making it easier for families to get their children vaccinated by offering back-to-school immunizations through both scheduled and walk-in clinics.
Parents can schedule appointments during the department’s regular vaccination clinics, or take advantage of weekly walk-in clinics held every Friday throughout July and August. Walk-in hours are from 8 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 4 p.m., with no appointment necessary.
To ensure a smooth visit, families are asked to bring their child’s immunization records. A parent or legal guardian must accompany the child at the time of vaccination.
“Getting a jump start on back-to-school shots helps avoid last-minute stress,” said officials with the Health Department. “We’re here to make the process as easy and accessible as possible for families in our community.”
For more information or to schedule an appointment, call the Howell County Health Department at 417-256-7078.
