Even though schools in Gainesville and Hall County won't open for more than a month, the Hall County Health Department is reminding parents that now is a good time to get required school vaccinations for students.
"Kids need pencils, paper and other supplies for school. Just as important, kids need to be up-to-date on their shots," said Dave Palmer, Public Information Officer for District 2 Public Health. "Children entering kindergarten, middle school and high school are required to have certain vaccinations."
The Hall County Health Department will be giving school immunizations on these dates:
July 5 – 27: Normal Operating Hours*
Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday: 8:00 am to 4:00 pm
Tuesday: 8:00 am to 6:00 pm
