Health Dept. Offering Free Back-To-School Immunizations In Miami-Dade
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Some kids dread the thought of going back-to-school after summer vacation—and the idea of having to get vaccines is even worse.
No matter the anxiety, the time has come meaning parents and guardians should check whether students' immunization records are up-to-date.
The state's Department of Health in Miami-Dade County is providing free back-to school immunizations to children between the ages of two months through 18 years of age.
Children entering Kindergarten and the 7th grade are normally due for a vaccine and, in order to start school, need to meet the requirements for school entry.
If students are in need of vaccines, a trip to the child's healthcare provider or one of the Florida Department of Health's clinics can help.
