In an effort to ensure community health and boost immunization rates among the youth, Washington County is collaborating with South Washington County Schools and Homeland Health Specialists to conveniently offer childhood vaccines. This collaborative public health initiative is notably setting up a clinic that is tailored specifically for students aged 18 or under.

Scheduled to take place on Thursday, August 8, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., the clinic is strategically hosted at Armstrong Elementary. In order to adequately meet demand and streamline the process, the organizers encourage attendees to be mindful of the time frame and arrive accordingly. The elementary is located at 8855 Inwood Avenue S., Cottage Grove, MN 55016, a locality familiar to many in the community.

Vaccinations provided at the clinic are expected to cover a range of diseases, thereby helping to reduce the spread of preventable illnesses among schoolchildren. Interested individuals can find more details about this upcoming clinic by visiting the county's official notice, posted on their website. This endeavor is part of a continued commitment to keeping the young residents of Washington County safe as they prepare to reenter or continue in the school system.
