Free vaccination clinics will be held at the Holtzman Learning Center, located at 333 Holtzman Road. The clinics are scheduled for Saturday, October 19, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Monday, October 21, 2024, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Vaccines available include COVID-19, influenza, DTaP and Tdap (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis), hepatitis A & B, HPV, MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), meningococcal, polio and varicella.

“Vaccinations play an important role in preventing the spread of communicable diseases in our schools and communities,” said Sarah Breon, MMSD’s director of health services. “We urge everyone to make sure they are current with their immunizations, and to take advantage of this no-cost opportunity to keep themselves and those around them healthy this winter season.”

The public is welcome at these clinics which result from collaboration between Madison Metropolitan School District and Public Health Madison & Dane County along with SSM Health, GHC and UW-Health. Individuals with or without health insurance can attend. Interpreters will be present for non-English speakers.

While walk-ins are accepted, it is strongly recommended that attendees schedule an appointment through the Public Health Madison & Dane County website. Immunization records can be checked via the Wisconsin Immunization Registry.
