Getting Your Kids on the Right Track for Back-to-School: Walk-In Vaccine Clinic and School-Based Appointments Available

As families prepare for the start of a new school year, Lowell Community Health Center is making it easier than ever to ensure children are up to date on required vaccines.

On Saturday, August 23rd, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Lowell CHC will host a special walk-in vaccine clinic for pediatric patients. The clinic will take place at the Pediatric Department, located at 161 Jackson Street in Lowell. No appointment is needed.

In addition to the walk-in clinic, Lowell Public School families can also schedule back-to-school vaccine appointments and physicals at Lowell High School or through our School-Based Health Center Mobile Unit at various locations on August 12th, 19th, and 26th. These appointments are open to any student enrolled in Lowell Public Schools and can be made by calling 978-746-7770.

“Back-to-school season should be a time of excitement—not stress,” said Cindy Slaga, Director of School-Based Health for Lowell CHC. “Whether it is a required vaccine or routine care, we are here to help families stay on track with care they can count on.”
