School is approaching quickly, and I wanted to let everyone know of an opportunity to obtain any missing vaccinations for your child. Lenoir County Health Department is offering walk-in vaccination hours on the days listed below.
As you are aware, many vaccinations must be up to date within the first 30 days of school to avoid being excluded from school per the North Carolina law. Please do not wait until the last minute because many places become quickly booked. If you are wondering if your child is missing anything, please reach out to me. I will look at the record and let you know for sure.
Once we return to school, I will begin sending out the 30 day notices so that we may remain in compliance. We want to have a healthy and happy school year. Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks, Kari Yarrow, RN, BSN School Nurse
