Immunization Clinic for 6th grade

At the clinic, your 6th-grader can receive a variety of vaccinations, including those that are required to enter into 7th grade next school year. Although this clinic is targeted at 6th-grade students, any student can attend and immunizations are free to students.
An appointment is not required, but you can book an appointment by calling (916) 875-7468. Walk-ins will be accepted. We ask that you bring a copy of your child’s immunization records.
