GREENFIELD – Students heading back to the classrooms may need to check out a vaccination clinic.
At least two vaccination clinics are coming up in Hancock County prior to the start of the 2023-24 school year.
A school immunization clinic will be from 3-7 p.m. July 20 at Greenfield Central Junior High School, 1440 N. Franklin St., Greenfield.
The event is hosted by the Indiana Immunization Coalition. All insurance is accepted, however there is no cost to those without insurance.
