Centerburg Middle and High School is set to host a back-to-school immunization clinic on Monday, August 11, from 5 to 7 p.m. The event will take place on the school campus and aims to assist students in meeting state vaccination requirements before the start of classes.
According to school officials, the clinic is being organized in collaboration with Knox County Community Health Center and Knox Public Health. Most costs associated with the vaccinations will be covered by insurance plans, providing an affordable opportunity for families to prepare their children for the upcoming academic year.
Parents are advised to call ahead to confirm which vaccines will be available during the clinic. This step ensures that students can receive the necessary immunizations, whether they are entering middle school, high school, or transferring from another district.
The event coincides with the district’s open house night, offering families an opportunity to meet teachers, tour classrooms, and address health requirements in a single visit. School officials emphasize that maintaining up-to-date vaccinations helps protect not only vaccinated students but also the broader school community from preventable illnesses.
For further information or to confirm vaccine availability, parents are encouraged to contact Knox Public Health before attending the event.
