Solano County Public Health to Conduct Free Vaccination Clinic

During the Total Home & Garden Show in Vacaville, April 20-22, 2012

WHAT:           Solano County Public Health will be conducting a free community Vaccination Clinic at the Total Home and Garden Show April 20-22. This is a free walk-in clinic for T-dap (pertussis) and seasonal flu. Pneumonia vaccine will also be available for those 65 years of age or older or with underlying health conditions.

WHEN:            Friday, April 20, 11AM to 7 PM, Saturday, April 21, 10AM to 6PM, Sunday, April 21, 10 AM to 5 PM.

WHERE:         Nut Tree Complex, Vacaville

WHY:              FOR THE 2012-2013 school year and future school years, all students entering, advancing, or transferring into the 7th grade will need proof of an adolescent pertussis/whooping cough (T-dap) booster immunization.  The new school immunization law affects all students in public and private schools.

Due to the mild winter, seasonal flu has not been as active as in previous years, but health authorities are concerned that the flu may become active this spring.  This vaccination clinic is open to the general public.

Should you have questions about the immunization clinic, please contact Scott Haskins at 707-784-8147.
