INDIANAPOLIS –
As local schools get back in full swing, parents are reminded their youngsters are
required to have certain immunizations to remain in class.
That’s why
Franciscan St. Francis Health, MSD Perry Township and the Marion County Health
Department have partnered to offer free immunizations to children throughout
the south-side school district.
Immunization
clinics were offered this morning (Aug. 8) at Southport High School will resume
at 12:15 p.m. to 2:20 p.m. at Southport Middle School at 5715 S. Keystone Ave.
On Aug. 9, a
clinic will be held at Perry Meridian High School at 401 W. Meridian School
Road from 8 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. The immunizations will resume at 12:15 p.m. to
2:20 p.m. at Perry Meridian Middle School at 202 W. Meridian School Road
(across the street from the high school).
Parents and
caregivers must bring children’s immunization records, insurance information
and authorization for immunizations.
Similar
clinics were held earlier in the week for kindergarten students through fifth
grade at the Perry Township Education Center.
