Immunizations

It is time for families to start updating their children’s immunizations in order to be prepared for the first day of school on August 23. Some students may not have the requisite number of shots and not know it due to the state increasing the number of shots required at various grade levels. (Note: Hepatitis A is now required for all grade levels.)

University Health System is offering a convenient way for parents to stay up-to-date with their child’s immunizations. They will dispatch a mobile clinic to multiple campuses in August. Click here for a list of dates and locations for the mobile clinics.
