MERRILLVILLE - Free immunizations, not for COVID, but for a slew of other possible infections, are set to be available for children early next month.
The Indiana Immunization Coalition will be at three Merrillville schools on May 11 to provide free immunizations for children.
Merrillville Community School Corporation Public Information Officer Donna Stuckert said in a news release, that vaccines that may be administered include Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Polio, Rotavirus, Influenza, MMR, Human Papilloma Virus, Meningitis and Varicella.
The immunizations will be at Merrillville High School from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., from 9 -11:30 a.m. at Pierce Middle School and from noon-2 p.m at Merrillville Intermediate School. Children do not have to be students at these schools to receive immunizations.
The clinics offer an opportunity for parents to get their children caught up on immunizations in preparation for the following school year.
Parents are asked to complete an online consent form and questionnaire, which can be accessed on the website of the Merrillville Community School Corporation.
For more information, call or text (317) 628-7116.
