NEVADA
Northern Nevada Public Health (NNPH) is encouraging families to get a head start on back-to-school immunizations by attending one of three upcoming summer vaccine clinics, both in the community or at NNPH’s main location.
- Tuesday, July 21: Northern Nevada HOPES, 580 W. Fifth St. in Reno, 3 to 6 p.m.
- Saturday, Aug. 1: Family Health Festival at Hug High School, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
- Saturday, Aug. 8: Northern Nevada Public Health, 1001 E. Ninth St., Building B, Reno, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
NNPH public health nurses from our immunization program will provide school-required and recommended vaccinations for students aged 4 to 18. While walk-ins are welcome, appointments are strongly recommended to reduce wait times.
Families who get vaccinated in July and early August can avoid the larger crowds that typically occur closer to the start of the school year while ensuring children are ready for the first day of class.
Parents and guardians planning to attend should know:
- Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
- Bring a photo ID for the parent or guardian.
- Bring the child’s insurance card, if available. Families without insurance can still receive vaccines at no cost.
- Bring vaccination records if the child received vaccines outside Nevada or outside the United States.
Appointments for all three clinics can be scheduled by visiting NNPH’s vaccination events webpage.
