The Lee County Health Department is expanding its regular weekday Immunization Clinic hours, at 3920 Michigan Ave., for the next three weeks.
The clinic, regularly closed Friday mornings, will open at 8 a.m. Friday. It will close that day at its regular time of 3:30 p.m.
Then starting Monday, clinic hours will expand by opening at 7 a.m. and closing at 6 p.m. through Aug. 9. On Friday, Aug. 10, the clinic will open at 8 a.m. and close at 3:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays the health department is closed.
The number of youth immunization clients quadruples during the weeks before school starts and the first few days of school.
Parents bringing their children for shots need to bring the children’s immunization record. To avoid a wait, immunizations can be administered by the child’s regular health care provider or during the child’s birth month.
