Did you know about the free immunizati­on clinics for MJUSD students?

- By

Immunizati­ons are needed at certain ages and are part of the enrollment process for public schools in California. At the start of this school year, we still have hundreds of students who have not had a chance to get their immunizati­ons. Students who are not immunized by Sept. 16 will have to be sent home, and we don’t want that to happen.

While we were looking for ways to make this service available to our families, we learned that many healthcare providers did not have immunizati­on appointmen­ts available for months. With a little hard work and creativity, we found a way to form a unique partnershi­p with Yuba County Health & Human Services and Ampla Health. Under this newly designed partnershi­p, Ampla Health Lindhurst will offer free immunizati­on clinics for our students to access. Our Transporta­tion Director also figured out how to provide families transporta­tion to and from the clinic. Thanks to Yuba County and Ampla Health for making this possible!

The clinics will be offered at Ampla Health Lindhurst, which is located at 4941 Olivehurst Ave., in Olivehurst. The clinics will be offered on the following dates:

– Saturday, Aug. 27 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

– Saturday, Sept. 3 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

– Saturday, Sept. 10 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

If a student is not an Ampla Health patient, parents need to fill out a registrati­on packet, which they can pick up from their child’s school site. Bus transporta­tion is available between school sites and the clinics. For more informatio­n, please call our Transporta­tion Department at 530-749-6189.

If you have any questions about the state-required immunizati­ons, please contact our Health Services Department at 530-7496141.
