Back-To-School Immunization Clinic Set For Saturday: Details

CHARLOTTE, NC — Mecklenburg County Public Health is sponsoring an immunization clinic Saturday to help insure students are vaccinated for the new school year.

"Some Mecklenburg County schools started online back-to-school sessions this fall, making returning to the classrooms, for most families, a distant thought," MCPH said in a statement Thursday. "But, even students who receive their education through distance learning are still subject to state laws for required immunizations."

The back-to-school immunization clinic is set to take place Saturday, Sept. 12 at the Billingsley Road Health Department, which is located at 249 Billingsley Road in Charlotte.

Immunization appointments are available from 8 a.m. through 5 p.m., and may be made by calling 704-336-6500 or visit meckhealth.org for more information. Weekday immunization appointments are also available, MCPH said.

"As a reminder, due to COVID-19, only one adult is allowed to accompany their child to their appointment and clients should wear a mask or face covering for appointments," MCPH said.
