The Grant County Health Department is hosting a free vaccine clinic at Platteville Schools on Tuesday, November 3rd for children 18 and under.
Key Information & Vaccines Offered
Influenza Vaccine: Free for all students 18 and under.
MMR Vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella): Offered free in response to the recent county measles outbreak.
Vaccine Status Check: Check your child’s records at dhfs@wir.gov
Requirements for Vaccination
Consent Form: To participate, return the completed consent form to the school by November 2nd. If you do not want your child vaccinated, do not return the form.
Behavior & Support: Children must be able to sit independently in a chair. To ensure safety, vaccines will not be given to combative children. If your child requires a parent/caregiver present for comfort, please accompany them.
First-Time Flu Shots (Ages 9 & Under): Children 9 and under who have never received a flu shot require two doses given 4 weeks apart. Because the health department will only visit the school once, please contact the Health Department or your primary care provider to arrange the second dose.
Note: You may also choose to have your child vaccinated directly at the Health Department.
For questions, please contact the Grant County Health Department at (608) 723-6416.
