All student immunizations and health assessments must be up to date by October 30th. Any students who do not have updated immunizations will be suspended from school until they are completed.
For all immunizations, your primary care physician is always the best choice. However, to aid families, Pitt County Health Department, in partnership with Pitt County Schools and the Vidant Medical Center School Nurse Program, will hold Drive-Through Childhood Immunization Clinics for middle and high school students beginning on October 19, 2020. These clinics will be held by appointment only at Pitt County Health Department, located at 201 Government Circle, Greenville from 9:00 am – 12:00 noon and 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm on the following dates: Monday, October 19, Wednesday, October 21, Monday, October 26 and Wednesday, October 28.
Appointments are required to allow staff to assess which immunizations each child needs prior to their arrival. Kindergarten immunizations will not be offered at these Drive-Through clinics. Appointments can be scheduled for both the Drive-Through Clinics and kindergarten immunization updates, and physical assessments by calling 252-902-2449.
