The city of Milwaukee is reminding parents that children will not be allowed in school beginning October 12 if their immunization requirements are not met.
The Milwaukee Health Department is holding two free childhood immunization clinics today at the South Side Health Center at 1639 S. 23rd Street and the Northwest Health Center at 7630 West Mill Road. The clinics last from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Students and families that are uninsured or under-insured are eligible to receive shots. If possible, parents should bring their child's immunization records with them.
The Milwaukee Public School System sent home reminder letters this week to parents whose children haven't received their immunizations yet. State law requires children in Kindergarten through 5th grade to be up-to-date with their shots.
