Back to School Immunizations - Get Ready for School

BUNNELL - Florida Department of Health in Flagler County offers required school immunizations weekdays at its health center throughout the summer.

ATTENTION PARENTS:
New and transferring students, Kindergarten students, and those entering seventh grade will need to provide proof of immunizations prior to enrollment. Returning students should have already completed the required shot series. Parents are encouraged to review all records.

There is no charge for immunizations for children, birth - 18 years of age provided they are still enrolled in elementary, middle or high school.

Parents are reminded to bring a copy of immunization records to help identify any needed shots and prevent the immunization nurse from beginning the entire series again. If you have Medicaid, or other insurance, please bring the card with you. During times of high patient volume, there may be a waiting time and clinic may stop accepting patients earlier than the posted clinic closing time.

Back to School shot hours at the Flagler County Health Department will be from August 10, 2015 through August 21, 2015., Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on a walk-in basis.

A Tdap Clinic for 7th graders will be August 12, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Indian Trails Middle School by appointment only. Please call (386) 437-7350 ext. 2261 to make an appointment.
