Caring for Children Foundation of Texas to sponsor vaccination clinic
From staff reports
August is National Immunization Awareness Month and kids need their shots before heading back to school. The Caring for Children Foundation of Texas is collaborating with Lewisville Independent School District to offer vaccinations FREE to VFC eligible students at Harmon 9th Grade Campus from 9-11a.m. Saturday.
As of Jan. 1 Texas law requires meningococcal vaccination for college admission. Students who have not turned 19 and who are VFC eligible may receive the meningococcal vaccination as well as other highly recommended vaccinations at these clinics.
To receive these free vaccinations a student must be Texas Vaccine for Children eligible. Your child is eligible if he/she:
* Is enrolled in CHIP or Medicaid
* Is an American Indian or Alaskan Native
Parents or guardians must bring child's immunization record. Children 17 and under must be accompanied by parent or guardian.
