Henry County school nurse coordinator announces Aug. 6 and Aug. 11 back-to-school vaccine clinics
Summary
Kayla Varner, school nurse coordinator for Henry County Public Schools, said the district will offer back-to-school vaccine clinics at the school board office on Aug. 6 (2 p.m.–6 p.m.) and Aug. 11 (7:30 a.m.–10 a.m.), first come, first served. She urged families to check student immunization records during Immunization Awareness Month.
Kayla Varner, school nurse coordinator for Henry County Public Schools, announced that the district will host back-to-school vaccine clinics at the school board office on Aug. 6 from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on Aug. 11 from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
"August is immunization awareness month," Varner said, urging parents and guardians to review students' immunization records and schedule any needed appointments before school starts. She added that "Immunizations are 1 of the safest and most effective ways to help protect against serious diseases," and noted that vaccines also protect people who are at higher risk of illness.
Both clinics will be held at the school board office and vaccines will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis, Varner said. The Aug. 6 clinic is scheduled to coincide with back-to-school night; the Aug. 11 clinic is scheduled for the first day of school.
Varner closed by encouraging families to check records early so students meet school requirements and to plan for any necessary appointments. The announcement did not specify which vaccines would be offered or whether appointments or identification would be required; those details were not specified in the statement.
