Public health is asking that parents and guardians update their children’s vaccinations records following a visit to the summer clinics through the Reporting Vaccines webpage or by calling 905-540-5250.
The program is launching as thousands of students are estimated to be behind on vaccinations since the pandemic stalled in-school vaccine clinics.
Appointments for the summer clinics can be made online or by calling 905-974-9848 opt 7.
