Spring ISD offering students free immunization shots Sept. 14 - Chron.com
For students in need of shots, Spring ISD will be offering free immunizations to students Sept. 14 with the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas Care Van.
The immunizations will be offered from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Spring ISD Community Engagement Center, 17125 Ella Blvd.
“We are excited to again be partnering with Blue Cross Blue Shield to bring this important event to our Spring ISD families,” Tranita Carroll, director of parent engagement, said in a press release. “It’s a great opportunity to make sure our students have all the immunizations they need, and we’re happy to help make them available at no cost.”
Further health and safety measures will be in place during the event to protect families and staff due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Anyone over the age of 2 must wear a mask covering their mouth and nose, and staff may screen students and check their temperature to ensure they can receive their shots.
The event will have a limited number of doses, so parents must register their child for an appointment ahead of time by contacting the Family Engagement Department at 281-891-6685.
Families attending are asked to bring their children’s immunization shot records. Participating students will also receive a free backpack provided by Community Health Choice.
Texas immunization requirements state all immunizations must be complete by the first day of attendance. To read more about immunization requirements, visit www.springisd.org/immunization.
