Posted Jul 19, 2021 3:07 PM

HUTCHINSON, Kan.— The Reno County Health Department is holding two Saturday clinics to assist in getting student vaccinations completed before the start of the school year.

The Health Department will be open from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, July 24 and Saturday, August 14. Walk-ins are being accepted for vaccinations. Kindergarteners should receive all required vaccines before starting school. Students entering 7th and 11th grades may also need additional vaccinations. Required immunizations can be administered along with the COVID-19 vaccine for ages 12 and over. With rising cases of the Delta variant in areas of Kansas, it is important to continue using mitigation methods such as social distancing, hand sanitizing, and vaccinating.

School and sports physicals are also available at the Reno County Health Department for $25 if not covered by insurance. Appointments are required for physicals.

The Health Department is open during their normal operating hours for vaccinations as well. To schedule an appointment, or for more information, call 620-694-2900 or visit www.renogov.org.
