The vaccines available at these clinics are human papillomavirus (HPV), Meningococcal ACWY, and Tdap. These vaccines are available at no cost for those with and without insurance. The Code of Virginia requires children entering daycare, and public or private schools to give proof of vaccination before enrolling in school. The vaccines should be given based on the schedule recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe recognize that time is valuable and the closer we get to summer, adults get even busier with vacations and other priorities. We encourage students to get their vaccines sooner rather than later when there can be a rush just before school begins in the fall,\u201d said Xavier Crockett, Health Director of the Central Shenandoah Health District. \u201cTo make getting these important vaccines more convenient, CSHD will be hosting in-school vaccination clinics beginning in early April.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>In-school vaccine clinics dates and locations include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Harrisonburg City Public Schools<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Harrisonburg High School: April 16<\/li>\n<li>Thomas Harrison Middle School: April 22<\/li>\n<li>Rocktown High School: April 23<\/li>\n<li>Skyline Middle School: April 30<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Rockingham County Public Schools<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wilbur Pence Middle School: April 8<\/li>\n<li>Turner Ashby High School: April 15<\/li>\n<li>Broadway High School &amp; J.

School required vaccines are also available at your local health department. For more information or to make an appointment, contact your local health department.<\/p>\n<p>Those who qualify for the Vaccine for Children Program will not be billed. If a student has insurance, they must provide their insurance information since insurance will be billed. Parents must complete and submit to the school a signed consent form for their children to receive any vaccines at these clinics. Signed consent forms should be turned in to the children\u2019s school prior to the clinic date.
