LEON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
PROVIDES SPECIAL BACK-TO-SCHOOL IMMUNIZATION CLINICS


Students who will be entering kindergarten or seventh grade next school
year must have certain immunization documentation on file at school before
the start of the new school year.  It is not too early for children to be
immunized for the 2006-2007 school year!

The Leon County Health Department continues to provide special immunization
clinics targeting students who need immunizations for school attendance.
Infants and young children needing immunizations may also be immunized at
these special clinics.  While an appointment is encouraged, children may be
seen on a walk-in basis during the free immunization clinics listed below:


Thursday, July 13, 2006    4:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.        Roberts & Stevens

All children receiving immunizations through the Health Department must be
