Who is due for back to school vaccines? Those who will be entering Kindergarten, 6th & 12th grades in the fall. Is it too early to get my child’s “back-to-school” immunizations? In most cases no, if your child is at least 4, 11 or 16 years old, they are ready for they’re next round of immunizations! Why schedule early? Fall back-to-school vaccine clinics fill up fast, beat the rush and schedule during our slower season! Give us a call at 618-544-8798 to schedule an appointment. |
